FAQs

What size hook is the Tan Ultra Shrimp?

The Fulling Mill Tan Ultra Shrimp is available in Size 4.

What fish species does this fly target?

This fly is specifically designed to target Bonefish and Permit.

Can I use this fly in murky water?

While it can be used, this fly performs best in clear water where fish can easily see it.

How do I store the flies?

Store the flies in a dry fly box to prevent damage and corrosion.

What leader and tippet should I use?

Use a fluorocarbon leader and tippet for stealth and abrasion resistance in saltwater.

What is the best retrieve technique?

A slow, steady retrieve with occasional twitches often works best, mimicking the movement of a shrimp. Vary your retrieve until you find what the fish are responding to.

Troubleshooting

Adjust your retrieval technique; try varying the speed and pauses. Consider whether your presentation is natural.

Check the fly for damage after each use and rinse with fresh water.
