Shrimp Imitaion


This is one of my latest creations. The Shrimp imitation.
Materials:
1/0 hook
Gold Flashabou
Pink Flashabou
Red Eyes
Crimson red, red, or red pink thread
White buck tail
First you will need a thread Anything of a red or red pinkish color. Rap the shank of the hook all the way down just before the shank starts to bend. Tie in the eyes a little behind the eye of the hook(make sure its stays in the same place and doesn't slide around). Then tie in a small but bushy Gold Flashabou tail. Next take a fairly long clump of pink flashabou strands. Tie it right above the tail. Then spin the flashabou strand around to make a sort of rope or braid. Then rap the shank of the hook right up to the eyes. Tye it down and your body is done. Next tie in a small clump of white buck tail over the eyes. Lastly Take a small clump of pink Flashabou and tie it under the shank. This gives the fly a bigger look. Aka Jumbo shrimp. Good luck and please leave your comments. Also if you want a detailed picture click the picture and you will get a full sized page picture.
