A new material for building shellbacks for shrimps and nymphs. Tulle is the polyester mesh material used to add layers to wedding dresses and ballgowns. It's very cheap, comes in a wide range of colours and when coated with UV-resin makes a great fly tying material. The Tulle Shrimp is tied with the tulle mesh laid over a dubbing and tinsel body to imitate the shrimp's segmented shell. Thanks for watching.

This scud pattern uses a simple sewing technique to add the legs that are a common trait for these widespread crustaceans, which are high in the fish menu in both fresh- and saltwater

Silky Scud

Alternative to a dubbed Scud or Gammarus pattern, which could also cover small freshwater shrimp. Colour the body to your choice. Sizes 12-16.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
