Tying a Hot spot Gammarus with Barry Ord Clarke

When gammarus shrimps are attacked by a parasitic worm, the parasite is visible from the outside as a red/orange dot. Thanks to this hot spot, fish not only see it better, but also find it more attractive! Only fish that are suitable as hosts, (trout) preferentially eat the infected shrimps.Thereafter the parasitic worm completes its development in the fish. . Need I say more?

I love the wire inside the tubing Barry. What a great idea. Super Pattern. Thanks.

[@andonimayoetxarren2801]

It seems to me that it is the best assembly I have seen of a gammarus, and the simplest

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thank you Andoni.

@@Thefeatherbender I asked Mark to do it. Leave it with me Barry.

[@puccini4530]

Good grief! That is absolutely bloody inspired at every construction stage. Will need to track down the luminescence powder. I'm off to the fly bench. That must go in with quite a 'plop'.

[@Thefeatherbender]

Thank you. Again, its another 'stealth shrimp' that has produced salt water sea trout for me when nothing else will work.

[@jeffnelson2197]

This is very cool! I am impressed and thank you for the info on why that’s like that!

Thanks Barry, enjoyed that! These modern materials allow for some interesting techniques. Would you tell us a bit more about how you colored the resin. ATB!

Thanks Erick.

[@flydryriver4966]

Barry I would like to to your take on the two tone baetis. It’s a simple fly, black tail and olive body with a black wing case and black legs. But let’s see what magic you can turn this deadly fly into. I changed the body from olive dubbing to an Olive turkey quill.

[@au46tro9]

You said you use it for seatrout. In rivers or in the ocean ?

[@Thefeatherbender]

For sea run brown trout in salt water.
