flymaster 0 Report post Posted May 18, 2006 I have deen tying these for a yaer or so it like the one will posted a while back with the bunny strips but I thought of something diff. I put a small loop of craft foam inbetween the pinchers to seperate them. I noticed in the past the pinchers wanted to kinda lay together instead of at that craw readyt o pinch the crap outta ya pose. I thought this may hlep and it may make the rear of the fly raise up to look more like a craw in the water. It is made with ginger and white vara. cheniele and nat. hackle, a 1/20 oz eye and rusty brown bunny strip the case on the top over the hackle is that 1/4" scud back. Well thought I would run this by the experts to see what ya thought. STU Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted May 18, 2006 Nice lookin crawl, I'm sure that will catch fish! One idea. I personally dont believe that pincers need to be seperated because when a crawdad moves through the water it folds them straight out in front of them. Most of the time a crayfish will flee if it sees a predator and they rarely, if ever, stand in a defensive position. My .02 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flymaster 0 Report post Posted May 18, 2006 Yep that is a good thought Smallie. I fish them really slow and on the bottom, I want it to look like a craw just out for a moring walk I guess. I hardly ever fish them in the current. I fish the back waters around rock piles and in eddies and things like that. But your comment is a worthy thought though.
