Twitch,

Awesome looking crustation, care to list the tying recipe. It would be much appreciated.

OPfisher, killer looking large profile swimmer.

As for one of my favorites, I'm with stonefish, I like a colored bead head for an egg sucking marabou spider or bunny leech tied on a 60 degree jig/fly hook, The Fly Shop's, TFS 5444. Very versatile pattern, can be fished on the swing or nymphed and I like the up turned hook. Snags up less and has a good hook up ratio.
