Tried my hand at a Ritt's Fighting Crayfish which i saw here on the forum Home page awhile back. Had to substitute some of the materials. For my first one, i think it turned out pretty well. size 8 ends up putting out a crayfish about the size of a wooly bugger. might go bigger next time if i'm looking for a bass lure. this will work well for smaller bass and crappie.

Hook – Daiichi 1730 sz. 8
Weight – lead dumbbell eyes
Antennae – yellow Krystal Flash
Eyes – Black round rubber
Claws/Arms – Brown 2mm foam claws on brown olive round rubber arms
Carapace – plastic bag colored Mottled Brown with markers
Underbody – metallic Braid
Body – unlabeled rust krystal flash tybe dubbing
Legs – Brown saddle hackle palmered through body and dubbing brushed out
Rib – Red Ultra Wire
Thread: UTC 70 Denier brown

They look like Gartside Gurglers without palmered hackle.

Pretty simple, yet effective topwater fly.

Simple enough for me to tie.
FYI: my experience is: "if it ain't chartreuse, it ain't no use!".
I tied some in black and couldn't see them on the water

 

[Fly-Swatter]

LMB/heavy cover tip: I tie the same fly semperfish posted, but larger (1/0+) and upside down. The only part that's a little tricky is getting the correct "hump" in the foam so it covers the hook point without filling the hook gap too much. I can drag that fly though most of the heavy weed and wood cover I encounter. IMO, it's a lot better option than mono pr wire weed guards.
