Taking time this winter to revise some of my fly designs. Here's gen. II of the Sipsey Claw Craw which is my version of the red swamp crawfish.
Recipe:
- Bucktail: natural, brown or red
- #2 main hook
- #4 stinger hook
- gold bead chain for eyes
- 50 lbs mono for the stinger hook
- brown yarn for body
- 3mm rattle for the underbody
Red bucktail would work. The brown portion of the bucktail would have a red tint, thus more accurately matching the raw swamp crawfish's color pattern.
Looks like it should get some attention! Nice work!

Sweet fly!
Thanks, guys. It turned out well. Waiting for a shipment or rattles to come in. I bottom fish a lot and figure this might work well especially if I tip it with cure livers or something.
Wow, say that three times fast!
Nice job, and I like your videos as well.
Yeah, I usually take a break from making videos between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Plan on heading out tomorrow, but won't be filming. Just got a bunch of new winter clothing from REI. Plan on fishing all winter since I missed so much fishing tinkering with that mud motor.
