Mysis Shrimp

[Fred H]

Fred,

Great looking shrimp pattern and beautifully tied! Do you find that you're snagging the bottom a lot with the hook facing down?

Jim, I don't have that problem here in La. fishing for panfish. I typically fish this with a floating fly line and 5 feet of leader on the edge of grass lines. If I were going to fish shallow water where the fly would contact the bottom I would tie in the legs of the shrimp as a brush weedguard , the kind seen on heavy jigs.
