Martyn that wee variant looks better than any commercial pattern I've seen. It's moving even when standing still :o) That profile looks like it just contracted it"s belly to swim away. I like the claw position too. Thanks Martyn, great tutorials!

Nice! Really enjoyed this tutorial. Your right about the crayfish eyes. This is an awesome pattern. Can be tied in many sizes weights and colors to suit various conditions and crayfish life cycle phases.
