More Tying Fun - South Sound Shrimp

Tied on a size 4 Gami. Look out SRCs and Rezzies!

that looks great.

Looks good enough to eat. Coho will likely think so too.

Nice tie. Rezzie will eat that for sure.
What are you using for the back, epoxy, clear cure goo, bug bond...?

Nice shrimpie!

A very nice saltwater shrimp fly Capt D. What brand/mix is the dubbing being used? I see that pattern could be slightly modified for fresh water Steelhead as well, nymph and swing. I think it would be an effective Pink salmon pattern also. I've seen some similar shrimp patterns using glass seed beads and dubbing between the beads for the body. I would like to know what glue is being used for the epoxy back also? Simple, but effective looking shrimp pattern for sure.

Dubbing: 40/40/20 UV Ice Dub Pink, Fl Pink, UVPearl Blue Lite Brite.
Another great color is Fl Pink thread and clear Antron for dubbing.

Eyes: 25# mono burned to shape then dipped in black vinyl jig paint

Carapace: Liquid Fusion (clear urethane glue) is awesome stuff. Gig Harbor Fly Shop has it if you have trouble finding the stuff.

If your interested I started (last week) a tying page on Facebook- Benchside Fly Tyer

You can find the specifics for this bug there...
