Rabbit+ Grizzly hackle=Craw

[smalljaw]

Does anyone else tie jigs that when you finish you immediately get ideas for other patterns based off the one you just tied? Well that is what happened here, I did the grizzly soft hackle canadian jig and Ron Don said it would make a nice craw pattern and bingo!!! I got this idea and I like it so thank you everyone and especially Ron Don! This is a 3/32oz jighead that is painted copperhead. I took some orange craft hair for the mustache and tied it in along with some spey hackle I got as a sample and tied two of those in for feelers. After the feelers I took the light brown soft grizzly hackle and tied it in for the claws and then used the sculpin colored, black barred rabbit zonker for the body. This is one that I really liked how it came out and I'll make more than two but this site has been great for inspiration, thanks all!!!

Very good-looking tie SJ.

Do the rivers and lakes in your area have light-colored bottom features and substrate?
