Mini Crawdaddy

[Ian Horning]

Here's a little crawfish fly. Tied hook-point up, weighted with small dumbbell eyes, on a size 8 hook. Tying is simple and fun, involving:
-Saddle Hackle
-Pheasant Tail
-Bucktail
-Wiggle Dub
-Ice Dub
-Rubber legs
-Burnt Mono/ colored black for eyes

It'll catch large and smallmouth bass and panfish, probably carp, and what it is really designed for, trout.

Give it to 'em.

Those look great!
I have been working on a "backwards" crawdad pattern so when it is retrieved it goes tail first, like a real crawdaddy.
Haven't got the right "tail" action yet.
