I’ve used the Trophy Craw in both still and moving water and it consistently draws fish in. The movement when stripped is very natural and the claw-like strips really stand out. Works well even when there are no crayfish around.

The fly looks authentic and moves well in the water. I noticed fish reacting to it even in low visibility. The dumbbell eyes help it sink fast, which is a plus in deeper waters.

Great pattern for both beginners and experienced anglers. The side-to-side movement makes it stand out. I’ve caught several fish using it in a creek with no crayfish present.
