Really simple Crawfish






I saw this in American Angler. They fish these for smallies on a western river. I was wonder if you all thought they might work around the south east?

Here's my take of the fly. Chartreuse Caboose and Crawdad Candy



Hook: 6 Nymph 2x
Antenna: Silly Legs
Eyes: Small dumbbell eye
Body: Chenille
Hackle: Streamer hackle to match the chenille



Not exactly a Trash Fly. The chenille in the chartreuse one came from a un name big box store that starts with a W.
