Hey folks.
A number of years ago when I worked in Pittsburgh I talked with an older gentleman who used to have a fly shop in Greensburg. He mentioned he had a "pinkish" colored cray pattern he tied for the Yough river. Traveled to his shop about a month later and I heard he had passed away and the shop had closed.
Does anyone know of this pattern of have a recipe they are willing to share? You can PM me if you like.
Thanks in advance!!! :)
 
never heard of it but it could be something like the clouser crayfish pinkish tan shell (fuzzy foam) and tan or pumpkin seed rubber legs it probably represents a either soft shell which usually have light blue in them and or a freshly moulted rustybrown crayfish i have seen all 3 in the yough but never a pinkish one try it out
 
Thanks flipnfly. That's what I figured too. Molting cray pattern. I'm going to try & mix up some colors & see what happens. :-D
 
I would just use this one tied in a light tan/cream color, but then again this is just my favorite crayfish pattern in general.
