Dead Drift Crayfish Fly

Tied by Umpqua Feather Merchants.

A reliable fly that catches anything from large trout, big bass, pike, and even carp, the Dead Drift Crayfish Fly is an important fly in your freshwater box. The Dead Drift Crayfish was designed by Tim Haddon to fool massive late summer trout on the Truckee River of California and Nevada. Tim takes a realistic approach that’s packed with movement for this fly and utilizes materials like zonker strip claws and a hackled body covered with a lifelike shellback. This design makes it great for dead drifting or being crawled along the bottom, and this is a fly that works equally well in still or flowing water.

Crayfish are most commonly found in the warmer months of the year, so this isn’t a fly to bring on those winter adventures, but because crayfish are such a protein-rich meal, this isn’t a fly that you want to miss any chances of using. Whether you’re targeting heavy smallmouth or are searching out big trout, this is a fly that you can count on for almost anything.
