I DID IT!!!!! :yahoo:

 

After a couple of failed attempts, I jumped on the vice today with a vision and man, it came out awesome. Maybe not as awesome as a realistic but using ideas from other crayfish I have seen, I put a very nice one together. I'll be trying it out on Tuesday.

 

I am actually very proud of myself. This is pretty much the first fly I have made without a recipe that I actually really like. Just an idea and kind of winging it, piecemealing materials together and just kind of hacking my way through it. I was so excited when I finished. Just had to share.

well i got all 11 of my one of a kind camo craws all tied up. im ready for an addy.

 

here is a rather decieving picture of my fly. i say this because in the pic, it looks like there is palmered hackle along all the body, but its only along the front half. also the "carapace" of the fly is alot smoother than it looks. but anyway here it is:
