Rabbit Strip Shrimp
Tied by Steve Schweitzer
  • Rib: Brown larvae lace
  • Eyes: Florist shop artifical flower stamins
  • Thread: Orange 8/0
  • Legs: Orange rabbit strip
  • Mouthparts: Orange rabbit strip
  • Topping: Orange see-thru nymph body, cut to shape
  • Hook: Partridge traditional Bartleet size 2
  • Antennae: Two dark bristles from paint brush
  • Body: Yellow-orange-brown-red SLF picked out
  • Tying Instructions
    This fly was developed based upon the SLF Prawn by Davy Wotton. The SLF hanks used to tie his fly were just too costly for my blood, thus the substitution of rabbit strip.
