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.

  • Good match for salmon and sea-run cutthroat
  • High-visibility color options
