Shrimp tying by Patrik Herlet from Sweden. He made this Srimps for the swedish seatrout. Shrimp can be dangerous on the low water for sea trout. You will find materials at the bottom of the blog post.!
For the picky trouts I wanted a shrimppattern that looks more realistic. Therefore I decided to give it a rather transparent body by using seals fur in a natural color. And of course there have to be legs on a semirealistic shrimp. In order to make it simple and to spare time I used Easy Shrimp Legs 2.0 instead of messing around with siliconeribs. As shield I used a transparent flexiskin with black dots to let the colour of the seals fur shine thru. And last but not least – I always want my flies to be durable – I gave the shield a coating of the best UV-Resin ever: RaidZap
