Gurgler......

[JoeS]

A little different take on the Gurgler......... Critique Please.......Pic shows a few straggler hairs that need to be trimmed off.....Hoping it looks like a struggling White Shrimp on the top of the water......Hopefully the eyes won't flip it over......

I have never in my life seen a shrimp struggling on the surface of the water. However, I have tied many gurgler type flies to mimic them in just that predicament. I don't think those big eyes in the front quarter are necessary. I do think the most important part is what the fly looks like from underneath and back a foot. This is where a picky fish will make up it's mind whether or not it is going to eat. That is where I place my effort when tying shrimp gurglers.

That nose doesn't look too upturned. Don't know how much gurgling it will do. The eyes, well don't see the need for eyes.

The eyes, well don't see the need for eyes.

The eyes are for the fisherman/fly tyer/fly buyer.

Dave the nose will be up when used.......I dab a small amount of epoxy on the nose to keep it up.......As for the eyes......Just screwing around.......Need to get out more......
