Default Some help with shrimp flies!

I'm at work, but will post pics up tomorrow when I get a chance, but I've tried to tie 3 Lefty Kreh Y2K Shrimp & they all end up looking like crap. Although I just got a new rotary vise w/ thread holder & all of that jazz, so maybe it will be a little easier now. I will try another one tomorrow & see how it goes. Does anyone have any different shrimp fly patterns they tie?I have tied about 15 flies in the last couple weeks & will post them up tomorrow....again these aren't the best flies ever especially since they are the first 15 I have ever tied, but I'm working on it! :letsdrink

My flies are usually kinda ugly but they work. I think as long as you have the general size and/or color the fish don't care too much.

It still bugs me that mine just don't look as good as I'd like.

Here is a useful website that I found that takes you through the steps. You can use different colors and mix it all up but the basic pattern stays the same

If you are looking for different pattern

This is a deadly fly for Atlantic salmon but could/should be given a try in the salt.
