Crustacean
Description
Overview
Crustaceans (order Decapoda) — shrimp, crabs, and crayfish — are hard-shelled aquatic invertebrates that play a major role in the diets of freshwater and saltwater fish alike, prized for their abundance and nutritional value. Fly patterns imitating crustaceans focus on matching size, color, and movement — crawling, darting, or drifting — to trigger a predatory response, making them effective for trout, bass, redfish, and bonefish.
