Junction shrimp (not tube)

[Trout Of Doubt]

I've found patterns for Junction Shrimps on tubes but I can't find anything specifically for doubles / trebles.

Those I've seen either seem to have no hackle (just hair wings) or are indestinguishable (sp?) from Ally's Shrimps, both of which don't seem quite right to me.

Can anyone eblighten me or furnish me with a pattern?

Sounds like you found the correct tying.

Skirt or tail is orange bucktail, body black floss with silver oval rib front wing white bucktail.

If tying on a double, tie bucktail even on top and bottom.

Here is a variant tied on a double.

TAIL: Long Orange Bucktail with two strands of pearl Crystalflash
BODY: Rear half flat gold tinsel, front half black floss.
RIB: Oval gold tinsel
CENTRE HACKLE: WHITE COCK
FRONT HACKLE: ORANGE COCK
HEAD: Orange

Thanks guys.

Gerry - I know it's dependent on water conditions, but when you say "long" for the tail, how long are you thinking. The coupe I've tied so far have had the tail sbout the same length as the shank.
