Fly Lipps Topwater Shrimp

Recommended Posts

The warm water guys inspired me with their Craw creations. BigDaddyHub found some Swiss Straw, got me to thinking...

 

Will try a few more to before I upload the pattern. Critical critiques welcome.

 

Thanks...dave

Man, that is a beautiful fly! I'd love to see how that moves on the water. Have you been able to test it out yet?

Thanks Dave,

 

Just tied it last night and the weather looks crappy today, hoping sunday looks better. It's supposed to act like a fleeing shrimp, the lip will give it a darting motion towards the top when striped...you can also skitter it across the surface.

 

I found the website while surfing shrimp patterns www.flylipps.com , can't wait to see how they work.

 

Will let you know...dave

Very nice Shrimp, I am anxious to here how effective it is. I have been playing with flylipps on damsel nymphs and scuds, by cutting them down. Have not gotten a good trip to use them yet. Lately been too busy with work. I might add a little glow in the dark materials in the body.

 

Cheers, Jeff
