Copsy's Smallie Flies

[FIREMAN]

These flies are for a friend that is coming up fishing for smallmouth in August.

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?

[Janus]

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:
