Simple Shrimp

Fly: Thomas C. Duncan, Sr., Photograph: Hans Weilenmann

Hook: Daiichi 2441, #4
Thread: Hot orange 8/0
Tail: Orange Finn Raccon over pearl Krystal Flash
Ribbing: Oval silver tinsel
Body: "Stunning Shrimp Pink" Iridescent Dubbing
Hackle: Pink saddle palmered, soft and oversized
Collar: Teal
Wing: Orange Finn Raccoo
Note: This is a very bright orange - leaving it in the sun for awhile will cause it to fade and turn a nice "shell orange" shade. Keep the wing short to prevent fouling around the hook. The soft underfur should not reach much farther than the hook bend. (The KF will keep the tail from fouling.)
