TokenGirl Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Meant for dark bottom, dirty water or low light conditions. Hook: #2 Tiemco 811S Tie in a clump of tan craft fur, then 4 strands of chartreuse crystal flash, then a strip of golden olive estaz. Wind the estaz forward.

[image]http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d51/msmambo/BWS-03.jpg[/image] Tie in another strip of golden olive estaz, then tie in medium sized black bead chain eyes. [image]http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d51/msmambo/BWS-04.jpg[/image] Wind the estaz forward and figure eight it around the beadchain eyes.

buttapollock101 Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Awesome Claire. You guys/gals are so meticulous about tying. I wish I had the patience, and was creative enough to make these little critters. Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramonjr Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 I have several tupperwares, drawers and ziploc bags all over, under and around my tying table. My wife is ready to build me a shed to move it all out of the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbk65bo Posted October 12, 2008 Report Share Posted October 12, 2008 Claire, Here is a pattern that I have worked on based on your recipe above. Slightly different though. I have one very specific spot that this little shrimp is getting ready to go into. Let me know what you think.
