Crayfish

Crayfish — The Big Fish Fly

Bass and big trout don't pass up a crayfish. It's one of the most calorie-dense meals in the river, and when a predator spots one scrambling along the bottom, the instinct to eat is almost automatic. Our Crayfish pattern captures that fleeing, bottom-hugging profile with dumbbell eyes that pin it down fast and keep it crawling right where the fish are looking. Strip it, hop it, let it dead-drift into a seam — it draws strikes from the biggest fish in the water.
