Polar Shrimp
pattern by Syd Glasso
Hook: Alec Jackson (Daiichi 2051) #1
Tag & Rib: oval silver tinsel
Tail: Golden Pheasant - fibers from red body hackle
Body: rear 1/2 red silk, front 1/2 flourescent orange angora
Hackle: Blue Eared Pheasant - dyed red
Collar: Teal
Wing: four white hackle tips
Head: white
It seems like red and orange can be interchanged for the body parts so I chose a little of both. The head should be red, but I stuck with the white for a little contrast.
I got a little dubbing happy, so the body is little full, but fishable.
I didn't get the wings as tented as I would like, but sometimes the feathers only cooperate so much and you have to go with the flow instead of working against it.
