Exactly! As I said before, I tie to fish. Nothing is too pretty to be dragged through through the water.

Superb looking shrimp there Rannoch.  I haven't had the vice out for ages but that has got the fingers twitching a bit - what's the tying?

Cheers,

Hi Ian, The tying is pretty simple really.......

Hook is a partridge saltwater shrimp 6 or 8. I've also added a few strands of lead wire tied along the bottom of the hook shank rather than wrapped around.
Feelers are tan supreme hair with two or three strands of light pink / green pearl gliss and glo.
Mouth part is speckled brown partridge.
Eyes are 'easy eyes'.
Body is Polar Dub, light tan.
The legs are a synthetic material called Pseudo Hackle in light brown olive. This is also what provides the rib effect.
Finish by giving the entire fly a 'comb' with your dubbing brush.
:D
