DarrellP 0 Report post Posted August 3, 2019 Nice simple fly. I have been looking for a Shrimp fly that could be expendable. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fshng2 0 Report post Posted August 26, 2019 Thanks DarrellP, FYI I revised the pattern after making a few and posted it in the pattern database. http://www.flytyingforum.com/pattern14104.html I eliminated the boars hair and am using bucktail. For the tail I now use either the tip of maribou or hen hackle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fshng2 0 Report post Posted October 12, 2019 I tightly secured the tubing with mono, so no glue needed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
