Dave,
I love shrimps, or scud as the Americans call them. This one looks great.
On my French chalk stream, thay are ib biblical proportions, and a well tied scud will move a fish several feet, when feeding.
I have one tied in my site flyfishfrance.blogspot.com. tied this summer, that is a close as I can get to natural.
I will try your little loop nymph, what size have you tried? Is the last one tied and covered with varnish or?
Ricky,
I'll check out your shrimp - always intersted to see the varaiations in patterns and approack to tying.
As for the loop nymphs, I carry them in #18, 20, 21, 22.
None of the loop winga are in varnish - that is the water surrounding the nymph - the loop seems to shroud the fly in water. I am sure this is part of its success.
