Magic Shrimp Pink

Another great super shrimp from Denmark…….

With Pink Magic Shrimp I wanted to make an eye-catching upside down fly. It is found in the original, bound by Swedish Jonatan Ternald, in beautiful brown and green colors, but I wanted to try to make a shrimp for the winter fishing. The rubber legs give it plenty of life in the water and with the weight load of tungsten it has a good walk in the water. Again used Raidzap to attach legs and shape the body with, concluding with a thin layer on the shrimp shell.

EasyLegShrimp with SealsFur

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
