tied some saltwater flies

check them out!

Super beautiful ties! Almost a shame to fish them; maybe put them in a display case.

Nice looking shrimps!

Makes me want to bring out the shrimp sauce!

Use of them will probably require tarter sauce!

Lookin Good !

Nicely Done!!

Very good looking ties. Why are shrimp jigs always tied backward? Shrimp run forward not backward. Just asking.

Very nice ties indeed!

Good point. We fish a lot of shrimp flies over her in the baltic and I have been thinking the same many times. Problem is, they go both ways, depending on the situation. Normally forward, but flight backwards. Like a crayfish.

I haven´t found a true shrimp pattern that moves well with all the tentacles tied in to the front. Again, like a crayfish pattern... Fish usually don´t give to much. Even late summer browns in gin clear water might ask for a natural colored shrimp and a specific presentation but not necessarily in the right swimming direction.

Nice looking tyes.

So sweet!?
You'll have to make a tutorial on how to make these bad boys [WHITE SMILING FACE]️

Those are some cool ties. Aren't you a little far away from salt water.

Wow! Very impressed.

I need to start tying some saltwater flies. Granted, I'm several hundred miles from the Gulf Coast, but, we do have some good Stripers around here. I've got an 8wt, and would love to tangle with a good Striper on that thing.

I'd love to try tying something like these, with a jig head that sits on the bottom

I like them. What size are the hooks?

Thank guys! I tied them for a friend that have a place on the Gulf & Its a 1/0 hook Gamakatsu .
