Bad weather blues tying

Ok guys lets start a crayfish contest see who can make look the crabbiest.

This is a bunny tie to mimic YOY hatched fish on 1/80th head

This one here is a purple bunny leech. Easiest bunny jig to tie and really effective. I tie tail on first then palmer forward. I never put eyes on this one as leeches do not have eyes. Try this one on BIG gills.

JMN- claws- red dyed squirrel tail
eyes- burnt mono
body- some piece of yellow/orange chenille that was loose in my material bin
shellback- big clump of pheasant tail fibers
legs- olive grizzly hackle with a bunch of FP on it to stiffen the fibers and make it
stand up (not sure if it works under water)

Yup real nice Attica. Same thing here spent way too much time. But it was fun to do.

i think either of the three would be deadly on the bronze carp
