Thread: The "Ultimate Shrimp"...

  1. #1

    Default The "Ultimate Shrimp"...

    Hey gang,

    My fly tying ego is just about on the moon right now.

    My "Ultimate Shrimp" is the Feature fly on the "Tyers Bench" in this Mar/Apr issue of "Flyfishing in Saltwaters" magazine.

    I'm posting this because it was your kind responses and encouragement that convinced me that this fly pattern was worth publishing. A special thankyou to "Striblue" (aka John Morin) for his personal encouragement...many thanks friend!

    Henry

    Hey Henry,

    Congratulations buddy. Not hard to
    understand after seeing your recent posting
    of fly pictures. Was the shrimp picture
    you posted the one that took the honors?
    It was a really nice looking shrimp pattern.
    Always nice to welcome new folks to FAOL,
    and doubly so when they bring this kind of
    talent. Well done! Warm regards, Jim

    Yup, that's the one. I've been working on expanding the pattern increasing the sizes it's tied in. Got some really nice stuff tied on 2, 1 and 1/0 hooks that should be killer on Red's and shallow stripers keying in on shrimp.

    Thanks,

    Henry
