Chasing_Tails 0 Report post Posted December 30, 2022 Dip Shrimp, tan Hook: Mustad Long Shank Stainless, #2 Thread: Uni-Thread 6/0, fire orange Tail: SF Slinky Fibers UV, shrimp Antennae: Krystal Flash, copper Eyes: Stone-Flo V shrimp eyes Thorax: Palmer Chenille, medium, tan Abdomen/legs: Palmer Chenille, small, tan Back/shell: 2mm foam, tan Rib: Wire, 0.2mm, brown Weedguard: 20lb mono Tail support: UV resin on underside The gurgler shrimp is a great skipping bait on the surface, but sometimes you want the fly to just dip below the surface. The colder temperatures means that the small shrimp will begin to reside along the marsh shorelines and the redfish, trout and snook will be in pursuit.

(The hackle is also tied palmer-style on one variation) Brigadier General Noel Money of Qualicum Beach, British Columbia, originated the two preceding patterns. These flies originally sported swan quill wings, however, they were replaced with bucktail over fifty years ago. General Money was one of our early fly-fishing fishing steelhead pioneers on the West Coast. Fly tiers were always seeking out his patterns and attempting to duplicate them. There were about nine known patterns but the two I have listed were the most popular.
