Description
My attempts at making shrimp flies out of a soda straw. Expect they will work on fluke and weaks. Here's the how-to link. http://youtu.be/RUeVvxdKtS4

Ed, You have too much time on your hands. You need to get out fishing soon.

Really nice fly Ed... I'd like to invite you as my guest to our ASWF meeting at Klee's in Seaside next Tuesday night at 7:00. It's 'Tie for Pie' night when we get together and tie flies, exchange fly pattern ideas, eat pizza and have a few drinks with some of the best fly fishermen around. If you need a vise I'd be happy to lend you one of mine.

Paul, thanks. Can't make it this week, but will take you up on the invite in the future. I have a portable Regal vice which comes in handy for traveling. Always up for learning new techniques. Ed

I did use a drop of glue to hold the hook.
