Double Tail Crayfish fly by Niklaus Bauer

August- september is crayfish time in Sweden and so does the perch think too. In the end of the summer the crayfish are shedding their shell and becomes an even more vulnerable for predators like perch and zander. If you haven’t tried a Crayfish patten before it’s about time, they work great. Buy the way Carp and Pike loves them too.
