is that a fly pattern or bait? don't believe ive heard of any freshwater crayfish besides crawdads...

It's a pattern. Also called a scud. I grew up in Prineville and at the time the scud population in the reservoir was huge. They flowed out into the river and that was the go-to nymph.

As for a dry, the Royal Coachman is a good pattern. Stick to attractors as there are not many hatches this time of the year, if any.
