Hey Fireman,

Great flies and some really good clear photos. I'm sure your friend will be highly appreciative. If he isn't, could we be friends? ;) 8T :)

Awesome assortment of smallie killers. I'd say you and your friend are guarenteed to have a great time.
Are those craw-flies tied with furry foam on the bodies?

Can I be your friend? I think those all look fantastic and I bet the smallies will too. What is the body made of on those craws at the bottom?

Janus,

Its the furry foam. I saw the gentleman tie this fly at the Midwest Fly Fishing show up in the Detroit area this year. I had had very few crawfish patterns in my box because Im picky about them. It seems that I only reserved for the more realistic type with lots of movement and this one fits the bill. I have only 3 different patterns in my box that do the trick for me.

Here is a link to the pattern and recipe:
