Something like this?Last summer and early fall on one beach I fished regularly I was surrounded by large schools of a type of baitfish very slender with bulbous heads/eyes don't know if they were sandlance or? The Herons were lined up chowing down every morning. An attempt at some imitations from memory, the baitfish were 2 - 4" school after school swimming up current and shallow.

Someone got a new viseRestocking the SRC box with some more shrimp variations. All are borrowed heavily from a few different Nordic Angler patterns. If your an SRC junkie, I suggest you peruse their Yourube channel. Lots of stuff they tie works great in the Sound. Especially their shrimp stuff.

Same vise I’ve had for a couple years now. You may have me confused with someone like bongoman who used to post a lot of flies here with the same color background.Someone got a new vise
I think so but I was mostly looking down on them from a top view and the eyes bulged out on the sides, they would flash or turn when startled and they looked like the pics. I need to tie some up with grey thread around the heads vs olive.Something like this?

Thanks for pics
Tarpon in Puget Sound! ;-) Nicely done!
I'm curious about the name of your fly, "cop car", can you share how or where this tie got its name? (I was gearing up to fish Leighton Lake one morning when a local stopped by to visit, he'd been into a lake nearby and was fishing a streamer he call the "patrol car" - it was more blue with black.)Unholy Cop Car...for the salmon box
