Field Notes

A bonefish and flats pattern designed to imitate a mantis shrimp, making it a good choice for sight-fishing on shallow saltwater flats. Fish it with short strips and pauses near sandy bottoms, grass edges, and other areas where bonefish feed on crustaceans.

Pros

  • Realistic crustacean profile for bonefish and other flats species
  • Weighted fly with SCT design for easier casting and sink control
  • Good match for shallow saltwater sight-fishing

Cons

  • Specialized pattern with limited use outside crustacean-feeding fisheries
  • May be less effective in very dirty water than louder patterns
