Shrimp
God that's an ugly pattern...
But it will work.

Hi Hoppy,
Hi Hoppy,
maybe you try a clear mono thread for the body and some rubber legs instead of the mono legs.
If you like give the body a very little bit of glitter in pearl, thats what my shrimps often have.
But i think your flies will work well!
RD, i agree totally ugly -
RD, i agree totally ugly - but the body is a close as i have come to the real creature featured in the on the Honey Shrimp page.
It needs some tweaking, i like the rubber legs idea, i will also be shortening the eyes.
Thanks for the feedback guys, we might not catch fish in Fyn, but i'll have a big box of flies!!

hoppy,
hoppy,
Iôve tried to re-create the colour too, and this is the closest I`ve come. It`s "homeblended dubbing". It turns "smokey/transparent" when wet, with the brown and orange bits showing. Tie an "aura-shrimp", or similar "dubbing-on-a-hook-pattern" with this, and add a shellback and eyes, instead of risking to glue yourself to the table :wink: Pm me if you want some to try.
When dry,
