This spawning shrimp pattern is incredibly realistic. The rabbit fur body and long legs make it look natural in the shallow flats. Fish took it right away, even in a spooked area. The dumbbell eyes don’t splash much, which helps keep the fish on edge.

Great detail on the legs and body. It worked well in a flat with low visibility. The fly stayed on the surface without disturbing the water much, which is perfect for cautious fish.
