This is an 1 1/4" baby crawfish and it catches big trout. Full size crawfish lures don't catch squat.

I've never had really any luck with anything cra(y)fish color or in shape. For the ones like that I think I just don't fish it right or something.

I'm convinced that it's the size. Maybe larger crawfish have a hard shell that's less attractive to trout.

These small craws are like cadbury mini eggs and like I say, big fish slam 'em. This guy did:

Around Idaho the lakes are laden with perch so anything perch-patterned does well... My go-to is a rapala

I've tried using dynamite to catch trout in Boulder Creek. Doesn't seem to work very well though.

And is it true that an orange roughy is what you take after eating an entire can of cheese doodles?
