Grass shrimp
 

anyone got a good one???????????///:confused:

Bob Popovics ultra shrimp is a good looking, durable and effective fly.
For effective and simple ties, I use the following to catch bass that seem to be feeding on shrimp:
For daytime when the shrimp dart about the grass cover – white medium dress craft fur Clouser.
For night when the shrimp come out of their cover and swim around near the top – small fly with short marabou or craft fur tail and crystal chenille body. Color depends on where I’m fishing. Olive or red in dark, and white if fishing around lighted docks.
I don’t think color is too critical, nor is the actual fly. I think size and action matter more.

Looking for teasers?????

No DENIs =I have to shrip flies=from when we commercially fished almost 30 years ago=they actually outfished the real thing//I won,t use them because I can,t get replaced=but they are the best I,ve ever seen///////////////

Pictures - we want pictures :)

Can,t hide around here////////:smash:

S/D =chit I don,t knowhow to tie anything except bucktails//if I did I wouldn,t worry about using them///

Next time we get together bring one,or like John said post a picture,a nice close-up.

CLAMMER, wow i always wondered if anyones tried targeting Tautog on the fly, i magine those brutes would put a flyrod into a impressive arc. :cool:
