Default Rainy day tying session

We have had some crazy amounts of rain, rivers blown out etc. Sat and did some more tying. The detail is not nearly as good as normal as my camera is broken so I am using my phone camera.








Some may ask what the heck this is, it is my favorite shrimp pattern. Im sure there are some out there like it but I sat and made this one up after trying a few others and this worked best. Always has a spot in my box especially when hitting the lake.

Nice ties. I'm intrigued by the scud, how heavy is it, never used that light sensitive adhesive before. I make my scuds as light as possible so they don't sink unnaturally on the pause.

Its not as heavy as you would think, im using a product a bit lighter than normal epoxy. It does sink faster then a scud made with dubbing but it has proven itself over and over. Works great just under an indicator or being twitched in.
