OneMoreLastCast Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Nice tie. The Cuttroat were loving the shrimp yesturday at the Lower K lake. My patterns are different, but I found they definitely liked the patterns with the Flash in the tails. They also wouldn't touch anything smaller than a #16. Your pattern would be deadly for Steelies too I would think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonefisher Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 Hey what do you guys find is the best presentation for shrimp patterns? I have had the most luck fishing them dead or with a very slow retrieve but I was curious if a sinking or sink tip and a faster retrieve would be better. MTB you said they wouldn't hit anything smaller then a 16 and this seems to make sense as from what I understand the shrimp in lower k are all between 1/2" and 3/4". Do you guys ever tie a mysis with a hot spot? I know it can be fairly effective with some shrimp patterns but I am not sure about mysis....... I guess I might have to pump a couple stomaches next time I hit the lower k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admin Posted July 8, 2007 Author Share Posted July 8, 2007 Dead drift under an indicator with a Chironomid paced retrieve. Slow slow slow.... I wouldn't personally tie a mysis with a hotspot, but it is an interesting idea. I tie most scuds with a pregnant / parasite orange hotspot.

lonefisher Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 I just asked as I googled them and have noticed a lot of images do have a bit of an orangeish area close to the head. I also saw a eye technique that looks really good basically just 2 pieces of mono burnt to form the eye tied in maybe a third of the way back down from the bend of the hook so that the eyes end at the hook bend..... might make a bit of sense like that but I will see if I can find the link again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonefisher Posted July 8, 2007 Share Posted July 8, 2007 here is the pattern guess the eyes are not necisarily mono but its a cool looking pattern http://globalflyfisher.com/patterns/junior...mp;caller=index if you click on the image it goes to the recipe and one of the images that appears to have the hotspot http://images.google.ca/imgres?imgurl=http...l%3Den%26sa%3DN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admin Posted July 9, 2007 Author Share Posted July 9, 2007 Oh ya, there is quite a bit of the orange presenst there. If I had a light pink ostrich, I would have used that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
