Instructions:
This shrimp pattern gets its name from the material that I use for the shell. Some people use plastic baggies, but I use Scud Back, a pliable material made for scud flies.

The only tricky part is attaching the scud back. It's tied in at the eye and pulled down to the bend over the eyes, and then secured in place with the copper wire. Wrapping the wire is the last thing that's done, securing it at the eye of the hook with the thread that's there waiting for it.

Another color combo that works well with this is olive. And when the shrimp are high in the water column or just in the surface film, the bead eyes can be replaced with mono eyes like those used for damsel nymphs and the wire can be replaced with 3/0 thread of the appropriate color.
