The picture in my avitar is much bigger than the fly.
It is a mysis shrimp pattern. Tied on a size 18 or 20 hook.
There are a 3 rivers here in Colorado that have mysis shrimp that come out bottom release Reservoirs. Some of the rainbows and browns below the reservoir are huge.
Actually I have not had a chance to fish it but I showed a friend how to tie it and he assures me that it works quite well in the toilet bowl.
A guy at the West Denver Fly Tying Clinic, a couple of years ago, gave me one as we were cleaning up but I did not see how he tied itor what he used. So last summer I just tried to do something similar to his. Oops! I just realized I lied when I said I had never fished it. I have never fished the ones I tied. But that one from the tying clinic I had a chance to site cast to an absolute Brute in the Hog Pen on the Taylor. But I hook set it while her mouth was still open. She shot like a canon shell across the riffles she was in, spraying water as she flew.
