I'm starting to focus on the back bays more and one of the main food sources is ghost shrimp.

A easy tie but it's labor intensive stacking EP fibers for the main body and then trimming to shape. A fly that’s worth the labor though, because they mimic the food source, swim well, cast well and are very durable.


Edit: Update it’s alive!

My project for today was 1/2 doz each of the Kauffmann's Freight Train, Polar Shrimp and black Gordon patterns for one of the 5 new boxes. All done with that now I'll see what kind of trouble I can get in with a little freehand no recipe stuff LOL
