I got your other thread deleted for you.
Just gotta say it again; this fly is awesome! I am a big fan of weighting crayfish patterns like you did because the hook up styles lets you get into the rocks where crayfish live a little easier. The addition of the egg is a brilliant idea

Very nice. This is almost identicle to the one I tie up. I just use a bit more darker orange on the body. But I know this one will work great (well, mine doesn't have any eggs to it lol). They do work great. I know summerruns just gobble them up.

Frank - I gotta say, this is one of my all time favorite crayfish patterns! 
The ones you sent me look even better in person. I had to take a picture before I let the fish try to destroy it. 
Here is another variation of this pattern which Frank tyed himself.

Tie a man a fly and you give him fresh air, some exercise and a lot of fun. Teach a man to tie flies and eventually it takes over all free time, a room in his house and several thousand of his dollars.
