Could you show a picture of the fly?  It sounds neat.

Jimi,

I can make a quick and easy crayfish by modifying a wooly bugger and
adding weight (you'll see why in a moment) and black foam.  I weight
the fly, tie in the shellback at the hook bend, tie a WB like normal,
then split the tail, pull the foam across the body and use the thread
to create the segments.  My buddy just about had a bowel movement
when he saw me tie this in front of him for the first time.

It's just another creative variation of the famous WB.
