Hi Saberfish.
My searches keep coming up with the saltwater shrimp too, but this is a completely different fly.
I have a couple of mag articles about Del about 1980 period and the flies referred to were xxl long shank and (later on) tandem streamer fish imitations .... matukas, zonkers.
Also largish buggy imitations like high viz (night fishing) woolly worm, woolly bugger, and the grizzly shrimp.
I was hoping someone in the Gorge area might still know the pattern for his shrimp.
