Field Notes

This is a freshwater shrimp wet fly pattern meant to imitate small crustaceans and other natural forage. Fish it on a dead drift, short swing, or subtle retrieve in streams and stillwaters where trout feed near the bottom or along edges.

Pros

  • Realistic shrimp profile
  • Barbless hook is fish-friendly
  • Versatile for drift or swing presentations

Cons

  • Small fly can be hard to see and cast
  • Not ideal in very heavy current or extreme wind
