1st shrimp

Recommended Posts

Below is my 1st attempt at a shrimp.

Hook: Partridge #2 3x

Body: 40lb mono, 15lb mono, gift tissue coated with "SH Hard As Wraps"

Eyes: 40 lb mono melted

Legs: WalMart Stretch Cord for beading (works great for segmenting bodies and cheaper than those name brands)

This is no where near as sweet as Fred Hannie's...but for fishing it's ok and someday I may actually produce a Hannie worthy fly....

Murray that's great . If you post a pic of the local shrimp we could brainstorm on modifications to the pattern.
