Skip48 0 Report post Posted August 18, 2007 I have been told by a guy that in Florida the crappie will take a grass shrimp over a minnow or anything else. So I am working on this shrimp and can do it in several colors so tell me what you think. It's on a #6 hook so bream and crappie should love this little 1 1/4" long treat. Anyway does anyone have any ideas of what I can do to add to the head to be more like a shrimp? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jonathon 0 Report post Posted September 21, 2007 looks good!! i think i would small rear the end and bigger by the legs also a scud hook size 10 or smaller works better. and cut left over foam.. this is a shrimp light fly with deer hair instead of foam but would use foam looks better Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oldfart 0 Report post Posted September 22, 2007 Skip, I'm with Jon, smaller may be better, but check the naturals in the area you fish, go with the size and color to match them. I tie most of my scuds on a Tiemco 2487 scud hook. Good luck and keep us informed on how you do. Tim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
