Alex Jardine Fly Tying - Freshwater Shrimp (Scud / Gamarus) for Rivers - 18/10/20

[@Tjk186]

Love the way you're in control when progressively tying in the segmented shell backs with nano silk... and that one turn of thread, before you start rib wrapping, is a great/helpful idea...fly shapes look very natural and slimmer/less bulky ...thanks for sharing

I think Alex’s tying videos are up there with the very best. Thank you.

Hi Reg, many thanks. Hopefully fix any audio issues on the latest video about Blue Winged Olive. Go check it out and let me know. Tight lines, Alex!

Great resource here Alex. Where might I find the broad tinsel for the shell-back?

[@AlexJardineFlyFishing]

Thanks Ben! You should be able to find the broad tinsel in most fly tying shops, also called flat mylar tinsel. Looking for around 4 or 5 mm (5/32 or 3/16 inch).

Hi Alex the Funky Shrimp is absolute deadly pattern. Nice to see you, maybe in future on the EWF.

[@AlexJardineFlyFishing]

Thanks! It is a great fly, has proved deadly over the seasons. Hopefully will make it back to the EWF in the future, such a fantastic event and of course great beer!
