Pregnant Gammarus with hooks up

[Gena Nedov]

Hey there! Gammarus on double hook, which I made earlier shown himself good at fishing and has attracted a lot of interest. After your feedbacks and the specificity of ice fishing on whitefish, I decided to change the design a bit. The fly became more difficult, but at the same time has become even more like a real shrimp. The attachment point is now in the middle, so the fly stays horizontally.
Thanks for the help, David (Speckle55) We will test it next time for sure

Yep, I echo the same. Very nice tie! Cool to see. Have you tried it on whites and trout?

That was first variant. We tried it on whitefish.
This model we havent yet tried...

You could try a jig hook with a needle and bead out the front...tied balanced style

Just curious, why the double hook? Why not just a single?..

Hi! If it is honest, I don't know. I was asked to make a shrimp on a double hook. Perhaps at a double hook balancing is better.

Wbaj .. it was me that asked him to tie us some to try ..I use most times a double hook for Lake Whitefish when Ice fishing

Hi Speckle. I also tie flys, I think I'll try them out. I bet once hooked not too many ever get off, correct?

This looks very interesting. You have a nice pattern. Would you mind PM me the pattern or even just the hook number/manufacturer?
Thanks, would love to try a few. I especially like the center hookup. Was it difficult to get it to balance? Any lead or weight under the body?
Cheers

In Alberta I don't find double hooks for fly tying, I bought here

You need to use flat lead to make the fly's back. Wow, size hook 6 or 8. I think 8 is better.
