Here is the step by step, i said i would post. on the shrimp patterns i use a lot,

MATERIALS

Tube- This tie, i have used a 11/4" Ally tube.
Thread- Danville 70 denier black,
Body- Silver body braid,
Hackle- Black cock saddle,
Wing- Black bear,
Shell backs- GP dyed black,
Flash- Krystal flash pearl,
Tail- Breast/ rump GP dyed black,


Here the tube is fitted with, lining & hook tubing and pushed on tying needle.

Now tie in a large, GP breast feather on top of tube.

Now i tie in the side & bottom GP shorter rump feathers, i like the tail like this. as it does move a lot more water, and i do think the fish pick up on the fly faster.

Now tie in the, body braid.

Here it is wound up the tube, to the head of tube.

Now i have tied in the black bear wing, and added the krystal flash.

Here i have tied in, two GP rump feathers tented for the shell.

Now tie in the black saddle hackle,
