and finally found one of the lighter coloured ones.Almost a perfect match.One thing i noticed is we dont catch many that orange colour most of ours are the (normal) colour.
old fart has caught quite a few in Leeman (not me) and do vary in colour, seen one that a pro crayfisherman caught (when they were allowed to) and the colours were brilliant and the baldie would have weighed a lot, well over 10kgs.
