i had to make a deal a while back with my late g.f watching your videos.. after watching the videos..in the next few days,, i went to the Kiene's fly shop to buy material's that you used tying with... after a few years of watching your videos and a few others,, i had a large selection od stuff... will the deal i had to make with her,., at the point when i had a , one heck of a lot of stuff.. she said.. you can go to the fly shop and buy what ever you want...so sweet of her.. then the other shoe dropped.. with her sweet little Chinese smile that she had.. she would whisper in my ear... then you take me shopping... i thought it was a great deal....i wish i could still make that deal.... but this is a great fly.. going to Bodega bay soon.. will try this fly, thank you
Wonderful. I wonder if that might have helped with my Permit deficit. I've chucked at quite a few, and never had so much as a take. Most head for the door marked 'exit.'
Thank you. I do believe that most blue water fishermen have a permit deficit!! But they are a somewhat 'stealth shrimp' that become almost invisible when fished, but they have worked well for me...
Nice shrimp pattern but I have a question, where do you by the organdie decorative ribbon (12mm x 10m)? I am a Belgian Fly fisherman who fishes a lot on Northern Sea Bass in Europoort (Maasvlakte I & II) in the Netherlands and I am looking for a good grey shrimp pattern and I want to try this one.
Barry Hi! I want to try this fly on an upcoming Bahamas bonefish trip. What colors work best? Also, I read your response to the post regarding getting the hook to ride up. Can this be accomplished with a single flat strip of lead? Placed on top then crapped over the sides rather than 3 separate pieces?
Hi Michael, the colours that have worked best for me are pearl (white) and tan (light brown). I wouldn't use flat lead strip because this will go around the whole hook shank. I tend to fold a short length of round lead wire double and tie this in on the underside of the hook shank.
Barry I am totally fascinated with this pattern. I have a question, can this pattern be tied point up? My grandsons and I are going to Florida this coming year to fish the flats for bones. Thin water and grass can be a problem as you know. Think's so very much for your inspiring talent... stay healthy and best regards. Walter
Hi Walter, thank you. Yes you can tie it Up side down! But you have to tie in three lead wire strips before you start the fly, on top of the hook shank. One each side of the hook shank and then one on top in between the two. This will make the hook fish up side down. Good luck, let me know how you get on with it.
Barry that is superb, most lifelike representation I have ever seen but I guess it isn't as easy as you make it look! Any suggestions where I can get these C70SD hooks in the UK I can't find a supplier anywhere? thanks in advance
The ribbon I have has the shiny part on the shorter horizontal pieces and the longer ones are kind of clear. Are yours shiny on the long part of the ribbon?
Thanks sofaking, Because of the weight of the UV resin on the shell back, the deep gape hook throat and point act as a keel and keep the fly fishing the correct way.
Well off to the tackle shop to see if I can find the supplies to make them ! 👍🏼🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟 Mr, Dave from 🌴🌺Florida 🌺🌴8/12/20. So many fish so little time !
The feather bender , I couldn't find the ribbon at the craft store ,there wasn't a big selection , so I substituted it with a crystal flash type of yarn and brushed it out and topped it off with flash strand and epoxy , I can't wait to give this pattern a try ! Thanks for the video ! 👍🏼
Hey Barry Great video, wonderful shrimp pattern. I was really impressed, I ordered 4 colors of the ribbon and tried to tie one last night. The removal of the vertical threads kicked my butt. Nothing I could do unless I removed them one at a time. They kept getting hung up on the horizontal fibers. Did I possibly receive a batch of ribbons that were woven too tight? Did you have any problems like this in the beginning? Thank you, Ron C Ruskin, FL
Hi Ron, Thanks. Once you have cut your strip of ribbon, try starting to strip the vertical threads start from the short end and work your way into the longest strands, this always works well for me. I'v never had any woven too tight!
just a note on salt water fly..dont use stainless steel hooks.. they will last forever in a fishes mouth,, a regular hook will rust out in a few months. .less damage to a fish,, after using, this fly in salt water on a regular hook, just wash it well in fresh water, and let dry..i have seen sharks etc.. with multiple stainless hooks in it mouth......
Hi Henry, yes the choice of hook is paramount to retain the correct attitude in the water. The Mustad C47 shrimp is a short shank deep gape so it functions as a keel.
that is a very nice looking fly, thank you for sharing
Thanks John.
Great simple pattern and budget like. Greeting from Brazil sir!
Thanks, good luck with it!
I've sead it before and I'm gonna say it again, your a genius! Great shrimp pattern barry! Think you and God bless you. Walter
Thank you Walter.
That looks amazing. Will definitely be tying some of these. Great job
Thanks Scott!

Cracking fly pattern. Really like the last piece of ribbon you tied in.🤙🏴
Glad you like it, thanks.
Super Idea!... A couple lines on the body with a black sharpy will do a perferct look. Thank's Barry.
Thanks Roger, good luck with it.

Thank you Kevin.

Hello Barry , would you please tell me what colour was the ribbon you used . Great fly . Look forward to tying it. Cheers mate. William
Hi William, Thanks, its white or opaque.
Brilliant! Thank you
Glad you liked it!

So nice of you!

great pattern think it would work well for Florida's famous snook and ocean trout
Hi Richard, thanks. It has worked very well for me for most salt water species.
Barry that is superb, most lifelike representation I have ever seen but I guess it isn't as easy as you make it look! Any suggestions where I can get these C70SD hooks in the UK I can't find a supplier anywhere? thanks in advance
Thanks, Fulling Mill had them at one time.
what ia the name of the material you use to make the shrimp? very good video
Hi, thanks, its called Organza ribbon, organza ribbon.
The ribbon I have has the shiny part on the shorter horizontal pieces and the longer ones are kind of clear. Are yours shiny on the long part of the ribbon?
Hi Seth, no it should be shiny on all strands!
@@Thefeatherbender thank you. I kind of thought so.
Hi Barry! Looks like a deadly shrimp! Beautifully tied! What colour of Organdie did you use in the tying?
Hi Pete, it's Pearl.
@@Thefeatherbender Great! Thanks!
That's awesome. Why'd you tie it hook point down though?
Thanks sofaking, Because of the weight of the UV resin on the shell back, the deep gape hook throat and point act as a keel and keep the fly fishing the correct way.
Wouldn't it look better on an Ahrex ns 150 salt hook?
Ha, Ahrex hooks weren't invented when I designed this pattern!😃

Hi Barry! What color is the organdie? Is it white?

A fantastic innovative fly Barry, what colour organdie are you using for this pattern. Keep up the good work.All the best,Bob
Hi Bob and thanks. This Organdie is white but its available in loads of different colours!
brilliant
Thanks David.
Cool!

Thanks Randell, good advice!
awesome!!!
Thanks Benny!
please stop showing this add its a good product but stop showing this add i am sick of it
Beautiful little shrimp! Will it still swim correctly with all the resin built up on top?
Hi Henry, yes the choice of hook is paramount to retain the correct attitude in the water. The Mustad C47 shrimp is a short shank deep gape so it functions as a keel.
Me gustó,muy bonito
Gracias Jose.
