Lochy Shrimp



The Lochy Shrimp emerged from a conversation I had with River Lochy Manager, John Veitch. John and I discussed what a 'Lochy fly' might look like and after agreeing on blue, yellow, silver and black, this is what I came up with. This excting new pattern is ideal for clear water and bright summer days.



Tag: oval silver
Tail: black arctic runner (short), pearl angel hair, yellow arctic runner.
Body: holo silver lite brite or flat holo silver (whichever you prefer) and oval silver rib.
Hackle: blue badger
Wing: JC tied in a 'V' over hackle
Head: red thread, clear varnish
