I returned last night armed with a past solution. Though the weather was quite different: rain, wind out of the N the shrimp came. I'm fishing a flat where the water is moving very fast and for the last hour it significantly slows down as the bottom of the tide approaches. Quite a bit of popping again last night without the more explosive ones of the previous night. When I started out there was no popping so I put on my new "Half-Bitten-Red-Culprit-Worm-Fly" (3.5" red GP with a dyed black GP wing) with various small shrimp flies on droppers. The new fly took a striper. Then I began to hear pops so I put on a red worm gurgler. I had something for about 4 seconds. I switched to this fly and took fish until I decided to leave. It's an old favorite. I dead drift it and continously take out slack.



Hook: Mustad 3407 #2
Thread: Light olive
Tail: Light olive bucktail under olive dyed mallard flank
Body: Olive dubbing
Rib: Copper crystal flash
Hackle: Olive
Back: Tan 3mm closed-cell foam, 3/8" wide

I use copper rib to suggest the copper color of the shrimp's eyes. The large GP I used also has a copper crystal flash rib. It's a Gary LaFontaine kind of thing that could be an attractor when shrimp are around.
