<p>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 <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Procambarus_clarkii" target="_blank">red swamp crawfish</a>.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>I did a few changes. Obviously, Bead Head with lead wire underbody. It sinks but not as fast as you might think. I also did a wire rib, where Mr. Galloup used a doubled strand of gold Krystal Flash twisted together. In the video, the dubbing is applied with a dubbing loop in two different places. I only used the dubbing loop for the thorax; I did a dubbing "noodle" on the abdomen. Also, I used an olive brown thread, while Mr. Galloup uses a burgundy thread for all his nymphs; it's his signature.</p>

<p>Below are 3 foam bluegill/crappie, perch, etc. bugs I tied recently. I used Kreink Braid for the under-body to add a little flash, and also for a tail. There is no end to uses for the Kreink Braid. I add the braid to some of my trout flies, too. The rest of the bugs are just the usual foam cuts. I've included a photo of how the braid looks from the bottom. It seems I need to be a bit tidier with my tying. Oh, well, the fish don't much care.

I bought the chenille and insect legs, thread, 1/64 oz jigs and a fly tying tool kit on EBAY. I was on my way. I found its special niche in long casting the shallows in ice-out early spring where a low gliding slow sinking jig was needed as a presentation. This jig responded well with the B.Gills, B.Crappie and P.Seeds.</span></i></b></p>
