Tying Instructions: Yes, there are some eyes in there somewhere. I buried them in chenille. Also, I didn't match the pincer feathers well at all, and the shellback/tail could definitely use some work. Overall I was happy with it though. This was my first attempt at a crawdad pattern of any kind, so I'll take it easy on myself. :)
Presentation Tips: Slow bumped along the bottom.
