An ultimate? shrimp. UV cured resin a little bit of slinky fibre / congo hair, and some mono eyes on 1/0 and 2/0 SL12S.... Next couple will have slightly smaller mono eyes

Flytyer, Evazote? What make and model is the hook? Good looking bugs.

I'll be happy to guess at hooks, feeling like it is a "Guessing Friday" today.

 

The shrimp is on a Mustad C 70 SD

And the other one is a Tiemco TMC8089

 

Ok, feeling geeky now, let me know if I nailed (or was it hooked) it :-P

 

Have a great weekend all

I finally got my hands on some of Blane Chockletts body tubing. Pretty cool stuff. It really flairs the bucktail out nicely, and reduces the weight of the fly. Braided expandable tubing is the same thing, and much cheaper.

Is that some kind of barred flash trailing back with the saddle? Don't think I have seen that before. Great looking tie!

Hey Cream...that is a cool looking bug. Obviously the hair work looks immaculate. But that tail is also super...it seems to explode out the back of the bug. The tail also looks light, and like it might shed water well too. What did you put back there? Thank you, Ed

Here is the video explaining the body tubing: Chocklett's Body Tubing - YouTube I used an entire pack on 2 flies. I found some much cheaper on Ebay under the name "expandable braided tubing".
