McFlyLures 0 Report post Posted July 14, 2017 Crayfish are a very important food source for many freshwater species. And this fly is made to imitate them. Bass and trout eat crayfish pretty regularly, and this fly has caught both on the end of my rod. The Crayfish Bunny Bugger is a relatively easy fly to tie, and works really well. I have also caught a few saltwater species on this fly, as it can mimic a brown shrimp well also. Redfish and specs both love brown shrimp, and this fly can work well for them. Hook: Daiichi 2220 Size 4 Thread: UTC Ultra Thread 140 Brown Tail: Brown Blood Quill Marabou Legs: Rubber Legs Barred - orange and red Flash: Gold or Bronze Krystal Flash Body Wrap: Yellow or Orange Chenille Hackle: Brown Saddle Hackle Weight: Lead Painted Dumbbell Eyes Wing: Brown Rabbit Zonker Strip Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big Fly Bob 0 Report post Posted August 12, 2017 Finally got around to tying some of these up. These are for the give aways at this months fly fishing club. I have tied me some like these but with rattlers in them. They work beautifully with the pulse discs and I have caught a lot of bass on them. Thanks for the video.

MckinneyLonghorn 0 Report post Posted August 14, 2017 This fly looks great and I definitely need to tie some up. Do you have a problem with the zonker strip fouling on the hook point since it is not tied down at the rear of the fly? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Glad you like it, tell me how they do for you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
