Overview

The Umpqua Clouser Crayfish in Olive/Green is a tried-and-true crayfish imitation designed to imitate the bottom-crawling crustaceans that are a critical food source for bass, trout, carp, and a wide range of freshwater species. Built with Bob Clouser’s signature dumbbell eyes and inverted hook design, this fly is meant to dive quickly, ride hook-point up, and crawl naturally along the bottom. The olive and green coloration blends seamlessly into rocky or weedy substrates, making it a subtle yet effective offering when targeting fish that are feeding on the real thing. It's especially effective in late summer and early fall, when crayfish are more active and fish are aggressively feeding.

With its realistic claws, dubbed body, and precise silhouette, this fly triggers instinctive responses from predatory fish. It’s also a great option when sight fishing, as its profile and movement create a convincing imitation of a fleeing or foraging crayfish. Whether stripped slowly across flats, bounced along the riverbed, or dead-drifted through a current seam, the Clouser Crayfish gets results. Its durability, balance, and consistent performance make it an essential pattern for any warmwater or multispecies fly box.Read More +
