Description

A legendary fly, the EP® Spawning Shrimp has been fooling fish of all species, all over the world, for many years. Size: #1/0, #4, #6 or #10 Eyes: Lead, Yellow Lead, or Bead Chain Target Species: Bonefish, Permit, Redfish, Triggerfish, and so many more Trusted by anglers for its lifelike movement and durable construction, it’s a pattern no flats fly box should be without. Some of Enrico’s personal Spawning Shrimp have been fished consistently for 10+ years—well-worn, yet still as appetizing to fish as the day they were tied.

Field Notes

Use the Spawning Shrimp on flats and nearshore areas when bonefish, permit, redfish, and other saltwater species are feeding on shrimp. Cast and present the fly with a natural drift, then vary retrieves/strips to match how shrimp move in the current.

Pros

  • Lifelike shrimp movement for picky flats fish
  • Durable construction that can be fished for years
  • Multiple size options (#1/0, #4, #6, #10) and eye styles (lead/yellow lead/bead chain)

Cons

  • Best results depend on matching size to local shrimp activity
  • Saltwater fly fishing requires a fly rod/line setup
