I could see that in Brown and deep Purple for Castaic fishing in the fall season.[] [signature] Re: [tubeN2] Clouser Crayfish - birddogwi - 06-27-2007 sounds like our 'Blue Rusty' up here, tN2. [signature] Re: [tubeN2] Clouser Crayfish - macfly55 - 06-27-2007 what about it in those same colors down here in the more "southern" waters.. lol.. and what size.. maybe 4 and 6??? MacFly[cool] [signature] Re: [birddogwi] Clouser Crayfish - tubeN2 - 06-28-2007 That would be the one. When the water gets cooler here in Cali, the crawdads start to get darker in color. I have seen some that are dark blue and almost purple.[cool] [signature] Re: [macfly55] Clouser Crayfish - tubeN2 - 06-28-2007 Size 4 would do. In your area, the craws are deep brown and then they get that reddish look to them when they are molting.[cool] [signature] Re: [tubeN2] Clouser Crayfish - macfly55 - 06-28-2007 and this all happens when??? [signature] Re: [macfly55] Clouser Crayfish - birddogwi - 06-28-2007 where do you hail from, mcfly? [signature] Re: [birddogwi] Clouser Crayfish - macfly55 - 06-28-2007 ... I was born and raised in the midwest but retired and live in Southern Ca... MacFly [signature] Re: [macfly55] Clouser Crayfish - birddogwi - 06-28-2007 wow.. good to know. thanks for sharing, bud [] sorry though.. Cal is a different world for me all together.. no idea at all what the patterns of the crawdads are down there. [signature] Re: [birddogwi] Clouser Crayfish - macfly55 - 06-28-2007 welcome... as far as the Cali thing goes.. that is why I ask tn2 so many questions and listen to most of what he says.. [] MacFly [cool] [signature] Re: [macfly55] Clouser Crayfish - tubeN2 - 06-28-2007 They can actually molt all year long. Some of them prefer the mid to late summer though. If you were to go to Dixon, you would expect to see them in later part of August through beginning of September.[cool] [signature] Re: [tubeN2] Clouser Crayfish - macfly55 - 06-29-2007 I love having a friend and a big sis who are walking talking fishing encyclopedias...[]... I dont have any crafish flies yet but will get some.. on those days where it is slow can always toss out a crawfish and see what happens.. MacFly [signature] Re: [Dryrod] Clouser Crayfish - Scruffy_Fly - 07-03-2007 Trout love crayfish also. Many Lakes and Rivers in Colorado have them. Including the Dream Stream, 11 Mile Reservoir, Spinney Mountain Reservoir, the Gunnison River, Colorado River. [signature] Re: [Scruffy_Fly] Clouser Crayfish - macfly55 - 07-03-2007 so a good fly in the western region and west coast.. MacFly [signature] Re: [macfly55] Clouser Crayfish - Scruffy_Fly - 07-03-2007 Fishing the Pudah Creek near Vacaville. I startled myself when I looked down and saw a crawdad as long as my hand on a rock next to my thigh. Yes, a crawdad immitation can be quite good in the western rivers. [signature] Re: [Scruffy_Fly] Clouser Crayfish - macfly55 - 07-03-2007 uhmmmmmmm I am afraid I may of been a little more than startled.. hehehe MacFly [signature]
