Shrimp flies

Been procrastinating but got a few done

Ok, they aren’t conventional models, but I’ve been bagging rockfish, lings, and halibuts with them for the last several years and have yet to hear a fish complain. The thread on the heads glows in the dark. Sharp hooks are really the thing when you are putting bait on and dropping. But it’s satisfying to get fish on something you made. Here’s one rigged up and another in the mouth of a canary. The reds and oranges produce, blue ones too, but it could just be that I use those colors the most.

They look good. Fresh and sharp for the upcoming season!

Those look good!  I lost my favorite all black saltwater fly that Hojo gave me to a very very big ling last year.  Need to find a replacement for it!
