Here is a realistic crawfish imitation for carp in very clear water

@fishfray, that could possibly be my favorite looking crayfish fly I've ever seen. Do you mind listing materials?

Brad....that not mine! Its Fallen513 fly!

 

[fishfray]

Sure.

Antennae: 2 pheasant tail fibers
Claws: 2 rounded hen hackle tips
Shellback: 6 or so dark pheasant tail fibers
Body: red/brown saddle hackle over rust colored dubbing.
Rib. Small gold wire

That is how I tie it in size 10 and below. Anything bigger I replace the claws with rabbit strips and antennae for flash material. Smallmouth like a lot more movement than carp.

There is the materials for the craw musclebeach

Hairy Stuff for night fishing

 

[smath]

Last spring I fished a deep lake that had a population of big trout. I found that weighted rabbit fur leeches, like the ones garhtr just posted worked great. It was more vertical fishing than fly-fishing since the fish were on the bottom in 15-20 feet of water, but the fly worked. I just had to be patient enough to let the fly sink to their level. I tied cross-cut rabbit fur in either black or white on circle hooks with a tungsten cone head. Couldn't be simpler. Rabbit fur has great movement in the water. I'm hoping to give this lake another try this spring... if spring ever arrives.

In anticipation of much warmer weather I have been making a bunch of there things. Fun to make and more fun to use.

Everyone keep warm!

TheCream:
Your deer hair poppers are great ties, they are too nice to fish with. I'd just sit and look at them.

Very nice!

These are beautiful, Pat Cohen status! Id be afraid to toss these with anything less than dock line for fear of loosing.

 

[TheCream]

I want them wrecked. That would do two things: 1) show they served their purpose and 2) give me an excuse to make more. I don't tie one that I don't plan to fish. They will see the water.

 

[Brad45005]

Your stacking abilities are great!..
