Is anyone tying this? Have a recipe? Have any for sale? I need to get my hands on about a dozen before February.

That looks like a really nice fly, but my lord would it be hard to tie onto the line. Think I'll give it a try, I'll let you know how it comes out.

Most of your coastal fly shops will carry this pattern. It is a very popular pattern under the name of Ultra Shrimp. Bob Popovicks originated the pattern. Hope this helps.

I can spin them up for you on stainless steel Partridge Swimming Shrimp Flash Points. I can even give you a mix of sizes if you like. That's not a problem, but it won't be cheap. Your looking at $4.50 each USD. Minimum order of 2 doz. I also recomend if you are going to have this pattern made, that you substitute white or grey rabbit strip for for the Antron wool The Antron or Fentax is far too rigid for such a pattern. The rabbit strip will undulate when you are stripping and give it an almost life-like action if you use a SM 6/32 white barbell at the eye rather than weighting the underbody of the fly. I have a video clip of my baby lobster or glass shrimp pattern in action, but I don't know how to post it to the forum.

 

 

Let me know

Working on it. Give me a couple of days. May have to tape it again. Hang tight.
