STL_Geoff 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2014 Looking for comments on this....kinda was going for the look what some of the flies the guy at 239 Flies ties, I cant remember his name for the life of me right now. Heading to gulf shores in May, what do you think???? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Panama Red 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2014 You hit the shrimp on the head with that one bro, fish will be lining up to eat that one. The guys a 239 flies tie some serious flies, I've been tying tarpon toads based on their pattern. Will most likely buy some of their baitfish patterns prior to spring. Let us know how you do.

STL_Geoff 0 Report post Posted January 10, 2014 Nick!! That's his name!! haha. anyway...material list, sure. Hot Spot: orange krystal chenille Eyes: 50lb mono melted, sharpied, CCG'd Mouth/Head/Flashy crap?? : Polar chenille in Pearl, 3 wraps. Legs: White peppered rubber legs Antenna: 2 pieces of black krystal flash, doubled over for 4 total Claw things: Good question: I bought this stuff a while back and I have NO idea what its called, sorry. its a synthetic fiber, marked with sharpie Gills: Olive Grizzly Saddle hackle Body: Blend of UV Ice dubbing lt yellow and golden brown( small clump ),little bit of pink and a little bit of tan rabbit, blended together then dubbed in a loop, combed out. Black beadchain eyes up front to get it hook point up. That's it. I wish I could know what else I actually used, but some of the dubbing and material was bought YEARS ago when I wasn't good at organizing materials. I tied the fly on a Gama B10S, hopefully its a strong enough hook for a redfish. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Whitner 0 Report post Posted January 10, 2014 Nice work on that shrimp. Those 239 flies look like cartoons. Nothing against Nick Davis. He ties well, I jusr can't stand his style. I guess I like more old school patterns. Just a personal preference. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Al Pitcher 0 Report post Posted February 4, 2014 That is a great shrimp pattern; it will work great on the flats in my home waters of the Tampa Bay area. The redfish will be standing in line for a chance to take a bite of the bad boy! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
