The Natural Crayfish is a lifelike imitation that perfectly replicates the appearance and motion of real crayfish—one of the most important forage species for freshwater predators. Tied with realistic colors and materials that provide natural movement, this fly is a must-have when targeting fish that feed on crustaceans. Its low-riding profile and articulated body make it deadly when crawled along the bottom near structure or rocks.
Effective in both rivers and lakes, the Natural Crayfish excels wherever crayfish are present—particularly in late spring through fall when fish key in on them as a major food source. Bass, trout, and even pike can’t resist its convincing action. Fished properly, it triggers both opportunistic strikes and aggressive territorial reactions.
Best for:
- Bass, trout, and pike in crayfish-rich waters
- Rocky bottoms, submerged logs, and weed edges
- Low, clear water conditions in late summer and fall
- Slow retrieves or strip-pause presentations near structure
📌 Pro Tip: Retrieve the Natural Crayfish with short, erratic strips to imitate a fleeing crayfish, then let it settle to the bottom. That pause often triggers the strike—especially from big trout and smallmouth.
