Shrimp Pattern
Versatile, realistic imitation of shrimp for various fish species, used in freshwater to saltwater.
Versatile, realistic imitation of shrimp for various fish species, used in freshwater to saltwater.
The Shrimp Pattern comes in many varieties and sizes, tied on hooks ranging from size 6 to 8/0, depending on the target species and specific shrimp being imitated. Materials such as dubbing, synthetic fibers, or natural materials like rabbit fur or marabou can be used for the body and tail. Legs and antennae are often created using rubber, silicone, or monofilament materials. Weight can be added using lead wire or dumbbell eyes to help the fly sink and create a lifelike swimming action.
The Shrimp Pattern is designed to imitate various species of shrimp, a vital food source for many fish species in both freshwater and saltwater environments. The fly's realistic profile and movement make it an effective representation of these crustaceans. The Shrimp Pattern can be tied in various sizes, colors, and forms to match the specific shrimp species found in different fishing environments, increasing its effectiveness for a wide range of fish species.
The Shrimp Pattern is effective in a wide variety of water, but the two most primary ones where shrimp patterns are used are the salt (bigger variations, targeting saltwater predatory fish like sea bass) and streams (smaller variations, targeting mainly trout).

You always buy from one fly tyer at a time
When you add a fly or set to your cart, you buy from the fly tyer who tied it. Add as many flies as you like from this fly tyer.
You can not add flies from multiple tyers, because else you would have to pay shipping cost for each one, making your shipping cost very high.
Estimated delivery time is shown in the shopping cart
Some sets and flies can be in stock, others might be tied to order. The item that takes the longest will determine the total time your order will take.
The estimated time your order will take is always shown in the shopping cart before you check out.
