Juvenile Crayfish by Rasmus Kristensson

A rather simple and effective crayfish pattern for perch. Slim profile to make it sink fast and with claws made of zonked squirrel to add buoyancy to make the fly stand on the bottom. The Shrimp & Cray Tail weight makes it sink straight downwards, which helps to emulate a fleeing crayfish each time you strip it home. Works really well on trout and rainbow trout as well.
