Phillips' Simple Shrimp
Can confirm this pattern is effective – earned a bit from a snook on docklights at 4:30 this morning! This shrimp fly works up quickly and swims like a dream! Perfect for beginners and anyone who wants to get off the vise and on the water quick! š (Oops! The apostrophe should have been after the āsā in the intro!)
