Having had no joy on my last few trips salmon fishing and struggling to get my flies to fish deep in cold highish water i decided to tie up some tubes that would hopefully fix the problem. Having looked through a few other forums some anglers swore by a Junction Shrimp for the back end of the season and slightly coloured water. So i decided that i would try and tie a few up for my last couple of trips before the season finishes.

Tube: brass slipstream tube, 1-1/4", 1", 1/2"
Thread: 8/0 Black
Ribbing: Fine silver wire
Body: Black floss (also tied one with half holographic orange)
Front Hackle: White Buck tail
Rear Hackle: Orange Arctic Runner



Cheers
Dan

Bonnie flies that.  I've heard the same thing Dan.  That a junction shrimp is good in coloured water and nearing dusk.  I tied some on 2" copper tubes that were almost 4" long the other day.  But as usual the predicted conditions didn't materialise so they're in the box for spring 2013!

Cheers Matt,

Cheers guys, sadly I have nothing to show for my afternoons fishing. Just means I will have to get up early and fish before work between now and the end of the season.
