Kyle Shrimp
Does anyone have the correct pattern for the kyle shrimp, I had one but my brother pinched it before I could copy it? What's that they say, you can choose your friends.....

Re: Kyle Shrimp
A year and a half on and with 189 views, and still no clues. Surely someone must know the pattern, it did after all originate from the kyle!!

Paul, I take it you mean the Kylie Shrimp? The pattern in the Salmon Flies of Scotland by Stan Headley is:

Tag: Silver wire

Tail: Orange bucktail (a few strands), orange twinkle, a short golden pheasant red body feather tied in flat i.e not wound

Butt: Black Floss

Body: Rear half flat copper; front black floss

Rib: Silver wire, over copper only

Mid hackle: Orange cock. (This hackle is at the midpoint of the body i.e. it splits the copper and black)

Head Hackle: Orange cock tied false above and below shank plus a few fibres of guinea fowl dyed blue

Wing: Pair of jungle cock tied back to back

Overwing: Orange cock hackle fibres

Head: Red varnish

The fly is not to be confused with another of Allan Donaldson's inventions the Kylie which is a different pattern (got a salmon and a grilse on a Kylie tube on the Carron on Saturday). Hope this helps.

Re: Kyle Shrimp
Cheers for the pattern Keith I will get busy tonight, i'm just off to the cassley for a few casts. I was up on tuesday night and moved two fish (one at the head of the rossal pool and the another in the cut) with a sunray shadow (6" long, I know it sounds massive but they are very effective when nothing else works)
