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 shrimp-and-squid imitation is built for saltwater and anadromous fish that key on crustaceans and baitfish. Fish it on a swing, strip retrieve, or dead-drift near structure, tidal edges, and current seams where sea-run cutthroat and salmon feed.

Pros

  • Strong shrimp/squid profile for feeding fish
  • Good match for sea-run cutthroat and resident salmon
  • Sold in a dozen for easy fly-box stocking

Cons

  • Specialized pattern, so it may be less useful outside saltwater or salmon situations
  • No size or sink information provided
