Thanks guys. I had some pretty good fishing with this on a wild Appalachian stream. I really like it. That pictures doesn't really show the shape and bulkiness of the fly very well. I should have used the other picture for the primary. That better picture is on the database entry for those of you who want a better look.

Thanks Bigdaddy. I had actually planned on tying some larger ones for smallies and LM bass, and I agree with ya on the zonker strips. I trimmed them up last night, after adding this to the database. All of that was floating around in my head, and now that i'm on the same page with a fellow fisherman, I'll go through with it.

I'm fairly new to this forum, but i've been fishing and tying for some amount of time now. This is quite odd for a first post, I know..but I wanna share a pattern with you. Feel free to give me constructive criticism. It's an original pattern. I searched for a crawdad pattern that I like for months, and never found one. So I thought I would design my own, and I ended up with this. I apologize for the bad pictures, my cameras has seen it's better days. Crowbuster's Crawfish Hook: 10# streamer Weight: wrapped from eye to just below the barb with .025 lead Claws: Olive Zonker Antenna: Turkey Tail Shellback 1: Brown Chenille. It's doubled(forming a loop) and the loop is folded back over. Hackle: Brown(Kind of webby is best) Body: Brown dubbing. Shellback 2: Thin Skin Rib: 12lb test Trilene Tail: Brown Chenille. (It's double here too.) i applied head cement and then pressed it to give it shape.
