Why these fit

For a saltwater shrimp fly, these are the strongest matches in the set. Big Y Fly Co Shrimp Gurgler - Fulling Mill is the best topwater option when fish are feeding shallow and reacting to surface disturbance. Big Y Fly Co Vlahos Bahama Shrimp - Fulling Mill is a good subtle subsurface shrimp for skinny flats and natural presentations. Big Y Fly Co Bonefish Bitters - RIO is the most clearly bonefish-focused bottom shrimp imitation. The Fly Crate Banded Shrimp and The Fly Crate Mantis Shrimp are lightweight flats shrimp patterns suited to tailing or skittish fish.

Technique notes

• Use the Shrimp Gurgler with short strips so it gurgles and pushes water.
• Fish Vlahos Bahama Shrimp with gentle twitches and pauses over shallow flats.
• Work Bonefish Bitters low and slow with subtle twitches near bottom.
• For Banded Shrimp and Mantis Shrimp, make quiet casts and let them settle before a slow retrieve.

When to switch

Switch to a deeper or more weighted pattern if fish are not showing on top or are feeding below the surface. If the water is very clear and fish are spooky, favor the more subtle shrimp like Vlahos Bahama Shrimp or Bonefish Bitters over the gurgler. If you need a deeper presentation than these flats shrimp, a different sinking fly or nymph-style pattern would be better.
