Thanks for sharing, I like your guide fly series, you have inspired be to get a vice and start tieing some my self, I'll let you know how what our bass, garrick and grunter here in South Africa think of Texas Guide Flies!
Can’t wait to try this one! Your popper and snake have served me well. I’m sure this will also.🙂 It’s important to fish with confidence, and your flies provide that! Thanks a lot Alvin. 👍👍🎣
Appreciate everything you do and all the knowledge you share Alvin. You’re the man. I’ve been meaning to ask this for some time now but what vise is that you’re using?
I am, done 30 or 40 since this one came out. Make sure you are subscribed to the channel and turn on the notification bell and you should see them all. Thanks!
Nice Craw imitation Alvin. I would think it's a bitch to cast with a single handed rod though!!! I tie big hairy, weighted flies similar to that for Salmon/Steelhead, I'll bet this fly would be good for Trout holding in deep pockets.
Do you find that this fly sinks pretty well? I’ve used a couple of crawfish patterns with a lot of zonker and the zonkers seem to ‘out float’ the weight of the eyes so the fly stays on the surface.
Another easy on that catches fish!
Great pattern for central Texas winter and spring! Tied a few for my box. Thanks Alvin!
This is the first black dude I've seen that's interested in fly tying.
Lot of us out here.
Crawfish..a food for everyone and every fish. Thanks for sharing your pattern. I will be fishing with it in Southern Utah!
I wondered what I was going to tie tonight. Now I know! Thanks
Good luck!
Craws are the hot bait for river smallmouth in my neck of the woods. Definitely have to tie a few dozen of these!
Good luck out there!

I dig that vise! Great vid as always Alvin!
Easy to tie & effective. What more can you ask for!
Thanks!
I really like this one. Have a great day.
Thanks, you too!
Yes! Think my fly box is 50% alvin - down and dirty - guide flys at this point. Thanks!
Good luck out there!
Excited to try this one, thanks for sharing. What size of line did you tie this with?
Nice Tying
Like it a lot
Thanks!
Beautiful!
Thanks!
I would love to see any of your shrimp patterns!
I second this

I have an old Abel vise. I think it's close to 20 years old.
@@AlvinDedeauxFlyFishing Awesome. What a work horse. I dig the metal work.
Nice
Thanks!
Do you feel the weed guard could cause you missed strikes, or could that just be little fish that cannot get the whole thing in its mouth?
I don't think so, some people do, my wife will cut the weed guard off.
Do you still do video's? I've been watching you a couple years. But I've not seen anything new for awhile. Maybe I'm just not seeing them?

Once it gets wet it sinks pretty fast.

Does the "claws" foul up?
Not that I have noticed.
