I don't understand one thing about this whole thread. Every LIVING
crawfish I've ever seen was on or near the bottom, yet foam floats. You
are are either not presenting the fly realisticly or else you are
weighting it too heavily to get normal actions. Furry Foam would be
better, but ... still? How do you get it down?

Garry,
I understand....... try the crafters foam sold at Walmart....(kids
crafts).... i use it to form beetles, hoppers and assorted other
dragonflies/hardshell insects. This is the high density foam...not
seat cushion stuff. Costs .48 per 1 foot square sheet...makes 100's of
bugs. Adapting it to your Crayfish.....will send you details. Foam
floats well....so I am experimenting with counter weight to get it to
sink right.

Brent,
When I saw the pattern myself, they were using the tan/brown
version of that -- cushion foam. I had black/grey from computer
hard drives that we had bought at work, so I used it. I like the
foam b/c it's softer and wraps around nicely.

Great post Garry !!!!!!!!!! Love the pattern.........but why use
that grey "packing" foam...... craft foam easier to build with
and stiffer.

As you can see, the foam splits the marabou tail forming the
marabou
claws (you can trim these back as you like) and the foam is
then made
into the back of the crayfish.
If anyone has any other questions, let me know. I'm still
trying to
find where on the net that I found the pattern myself.
