Shrimp X New Pattern Database Submission

Dear FTF Member,
Support FTF by Subscribing to Hatches Today! 2011 Issue - In Stock
Since 2003 FlyTyingForum.com has grown from a handful of people to 30,000 registered members and has become the largest fly tying community in the world. In 2007 I published the first issue of Hatches because I felt the FTF community could offer a printed magazine that far exceeds anything the fly tying world has ever seen published. To this day, Hatches is largely made up of articles submitted to me by FTF member and FTF will continue to play a large role in the future of Hatches. Hatches truly is a grassroots effort, unlike many of the other publications in circulation that have the backing of large media corporations. The future of both Hatches and FTF depends on the support of FTF members like you. For $7 a year, you not only help ensure that I have the resources needed to be able to offer you all of the features you enjoy today free of charge, you also get 96 pages of pure fly tying awesomeness that is worth the price by itself. Click Here for Subscription Info Thank You -Will

Superb pattern! I'd like to adapt this for the color of our local crayfish. The bass will be all over these!!! Thanks for sharing.

Wow! Those are spectacular! I was thinking the same thing about using them as crays, btw... love these!
The great thing about catch & release is that the fish can live to grow even larger.
In fact, I've known some fish to grow quite a bit larger before the fisherman even returned home

Yup... its a pattern that mimic all the crays, shrimp, mantis and prawn.... put in different part like zonker strip, it will turn out as crays...

These are really great. What is a press paper eye? Is that something that you made by hand? If so how. Thanks, Lloyd

Something you get from the plastic flower.... from florist that sell artificial flowers... rolleyes.gif to make it more durable.. I suggest you soak them in vanish or lacquer... so the paper won't wear off so fast..
