Realistic Grass Shrimp

Recommended Posts

Hi my friends. Here's a few pic's of my Grass Shrimp . It's a collectable fly now. But if u remove the legs and add soft hackles it turns into a Bone and Permit fly. Oh we'll , just a little something I came up with on a rainy day. Hope you like it. Thanks

Thanks Buddy. It's a little slim but most of the small live Shrimp I have handled usually are . They get a lot porky when they get to Fish Market size . The small one"s are actually transparent. But a clear shrimp is harder to see so I added a splash of color.

Yeah ... I wasn't complaining. Sparse is what's always called for with streamers and stuff. We forget that same principal applies to "hard body" flies, too.

Less sometimes IS more.

Last post was supposed to say -

" oh I know , I ' glade you like it ". But it didn't post correctly for some reason. Check out the Hellgrammite I posted .

Thanks
