Description

If you put Shrimp and Squid in front of us, we'd have a hard time deciding which one to go for first. But if you somehow combined them into one delectable treat, it would be an easy decision. We've done that with this pattern for Sea Run Cutthroat and resident salmon.

Field Notes

This is a saltwater-style shrimp/squid imitation fly for sea-run cutthroat and resident salmon. Fish it on a swing, strip retrieve, or short twitches near structure, tide edges, and bait concentrations where shrimp and small squid are present.

Pros

  • Realistic shrimp/squid profile
  • Good match for salmon and sea-run cutthroat
  • High-visibility color options

Cons

  • Not ideal for freshwater-only situations
  • Requires fly tackle and presentation skill
