Crustacean

Crustaceans, in fly fishing, are aquatic invertebrates with hard exoskeletons, including species like shrimp, crabs, and crayfish, which play a crucial role in the diets of many freshwater and saltwater fish. These creatures are highly sought after by fish due to their abundance and nutritional value. Fly patterns designed to imitate crustaceans replicate their size, color, and movement to trigger predatory instincts. By accurately mimicking their natural behavior, such as crawling, darting, or drifting, these flies can effectively entice strikes from species like trout, bass, redfish, and bonefish.
