Something Shrimpy V.2,

[roll cast]

I toned the fly down overall and removed some of the flexi floss.
I also attempted one of those arty shots with the fly in the background blurred out, I think I'm pushing my compact to do that but I'm sure I could use photoshop for the same effect.

Ok Al may I suggest you use a slightly thicker plastic for the back as the polypocket stuff is to thin.
If you are stuck, send me a PM with an address I can use, and I will send you some

Thanks Graham, I have some thicker plastic/rubber lying about here somewhere I'll try it out tomorrow on some flies.

I like the posture of the first one. Have you put some lead along the back to make it fish point up?

Yeah, I tied 3 strips of lead along the back to make it fish point up and also to help build that sort of hump backed shape that shrimp have.

Good one
The more I look at it the more I like it. Will tie a few in this style to try out on the Clyde grayling this winter.
