In this fly tying tutorial, I demonstrate the tying methods for a fly called the CrawBody Crayfish. Representing a favorite meal of both trout and smallmouth bass, the crayfish as a pattern is intended to be fished lower in the water column, and can be utilized in both streams and lakes. There are many variations that you can make to this intermediate pattern, thus feel free to experiment and determine what works best on your local waters.

With Halloween around the corner (@ the filming of this video), it was suggested by my wife that a Halloween pattern would be fun...and I agree! This fly is part Slumpbuster, part Meat Whistle, part Zonker, and the rest is just fun. The best part is that the fly catches fish! At the end of this video for a fly I decided to call "Medusa's" Halloween Streamer, there is even a little glow-in-the-dark; what more can you ask for around this holiday?
