When chasing redfish lately I'm doing pretty well with the old crab flies, but I keep seeing tiny (+/- 1.5") shrimp jumping ahead of cruising reds. I got to thinking that on those really still mornings a small shrimp fly might just be the ticket to getting spooky fish to eat. After two evenings of experimenting at the bench I have come up with something I think will work Very Happy

That doesn't look very appetizing to me, it looks like a good case of indigestion! Laughing

Just kidding, great job, and it looks durable enough to last more then a couple of reds. However, it might pick up more trash then you would prefer.

Bayfly, this would be for an area with mud bottoms. I'm working on another idea for grassy flats. It's gonna be a little more complicated, but then again that's half the fun of having a tying bench.

Is this what you are clling "redfish crack"?

This is my take on the redfish crack pattern. I did not come up with the design but it is relatively simple to tie and works well.

Very nice pattern. Do you prefer the dumbell eyes to large bead chain for any particular reason? Again, nice work.
