Just a basic Crayfish Fly Pattern tutorial. I am sure that someone has tied a similar pattern out there, but as many of you know these patterns are super effective in catching fish. I love to fish these for trout, bass, carp and any other fish species that would eat a crayfish. I have tried other color patterns, but this seems to be the color combo that is most effective.
The Cohens Carp dub has the perfect combination of rusty orange with hints of green and blue that will be sure to match many of the different variations in crayfish year round. I also like it because I don't have to tie in lots of rubber legs or hackle to imitate legs because the dubbing already has that in it.
