Hi Dada
Skip's Dad is a fairly realistic fly (that's why I like it, along with the fact that it's simple to tie) and it works for fish other than bass. Tie it in #10-14 for trout and use some smaller dumbell eyes. You can either fish it dead-drift (whichever nymph style you prefer--indicator or Czech style) or strip it in like you would a woolly bugger.
Another crayfish fly is a Foxee Clouser (Clouser with brown and rust colors), although thats more of what a crayfish would look like if Picasso painted it--it's a highly impressionistic fly.
Of course, I'm biased because I wrote the article.

Ouuuhhhh......
Ok, thanks for it. I know troutsll like it but I am trying to tie bigger and use them for our barsch,zander and may be pike too...... I think on 4 or 2 will work....Bacause this size I saw in barchs stomack....  But I ve to use very fast sinking line to get it on bottom.....Because the river is 2-3meters(10 feet) deep and stream is no so slow.....So its another complication...... But I think your 20inches slow strips ll work good......What you mean about this? |

Do a good 60cm (translating into euro-speak =) ) strip but do it slowly so it takes a good 4 seconds to do. The whole idea is that you are a crayfish walking across the bottom of the river/lake and going about your business unaware of the verocious predator stalking you from above.

Hello there....
the another think, as a little child(Iam still child:)) Iwas very interesting in entomoligy and I study crayfish a little too.... The think which I mena now is that crayfish has a stadium, evry moths they are changing the skin and processll take about two days and a couple of my friends told me this time is the most interesting for a fish because they are week, soft and his colour is nearly white......So may be it ll be better to tie very bright.......What you mean about that????  |

Yes, we call them "soft craw" in the US. They're actually quite pretty to look at, with tints of blue, green, but mostly gray. You can tiie a Skip's Dad with gray haretron dubbing to give it that soft craw look.
Cheers
