EP Spawning Shrimp
Alex doesn’t ask for much, so when he asked for a simple and effective shrimp pattern to fish this weekend, I was happy to oblige. Such a quick and painless tie with the Fulling Mill Shrimp Eyes and Pro Thread! Sparseness is key here – however much fiber you think you need, reduce it by half! (I’m talking to myself as much as anyone 😂)
