This fly has a great look to it and great movement. You can tie it in any color to match the crawfish in your fishery. Pair your favorite furry foam to your favorite mallard feather colors. These flies cast easily as they don’t hold much water and they get down quickly, paramount to fishing crawfish patterns. The pheasant tail mouth paired with the mallard “claws” create enticing movement dead drift or stripped.
You’d never believe how many people tell me they don’t have luck with crawfish flies. But they don’t follow one simple rule with fishing flies: you must match the depth of the fly to the strike zone of what it is imitating. Crawfish can not be found in the middle of the water column, to fish crawfish flies you have to be a patient angler and fish them along the bottom. If you do not get this fly deep enough you need to change flies. However, for the patient angler the rewards can be great! Give this fly short quick strips after you get it to the bottom. Imagine a crawfish fleeing backwards while fishing it. Fish it as a nymph dead drifted for trout too, just make sure it is near the bottom!
