Crayfish pattern

[blackandgold4ever05]

Just wondering what you guys tie up for a crayfish? I have been wanting to tie some of these for awhile because they are in great abundance and the big browns in Penns eat them. Ideas, pictures, and recipes would be appreciated! Thanks

This is my favorite crayfish pattern, basically just a simplified version of the Full Motion Crayfish, quick to tie and devastatingly effective...

Weight: dumbbell eyes
Antennae: 2 sili legs

unless you fish stillwaters...excellent pattern for dead-drifting, but it loses some of it's effectiveness when retrieved.
