Try tying it on the smallest ned rig jig hook you can find. An 8wt casts them fine, and that flat weight is critical imho.
What's in your vise?

Had to replace an all white almost all bucktail that I left just out of reach in a tree (I didn't feel like getting wet, but if anyone finds it and can get it, keep it....it works very well) plus added another with a similar color scheme as what my last couple of fish have come on. I did change the innards a touch (denser bucktail under the head and no foam).
That previous one after it's gotten wet and dried...
and something VERY similar (albeit dry and a little wild), although the tail is a touch different and the head is mostly NMF baitfish blend to help keep it a little more rigid (only downside is that it'll have slightly less micro movement compared to Titan Dub.

So we got these Siberian Prawns coming in…
Been fishing the lower Snake, Columbia and lower Yakima for bass some this spring. Bass and walleye in the Snake and Columbia seem to be eating these shrimp things.
Hook: Mustad C47SD #1
Eyes: 16 pound mono burned, colored with sharpie and covered with UV resin
Tail (head??): light tan craft fur and clear ripple ice dubbing
Under body: Hare’s ear
Body: light tan craft fur and clear ripple ice dubbing spun in a loop and wrapped. The hares ear helps it maintain shape in the water.

Great fly. Late last summer I found out about those. Don't think I'll get much chance to fish up there for a while. Let us know how it works out. https://pnwflyfishing.com/forum/index.php?threads/siberian-shrimp-patterns-please.5866/ .

V-rib? Very cool damselfly nymph.
I agree with Pat! Love it. Can you please provide a recipe or instructions? Also, do you fish it on floating or sinking line?
