FAQs
What species is this fly best for?
This fly is particularly effective for permit and other species that feed on shrimp in shallow water.
What size leader should I use?
Use a 9-12 foot leader with a tippet size appropriate for the target species and water clarity. Adjust tippet weight accordingly.
How do I maintain the fly?
Rinse with fresh water after each use and store in a fly box to prevent damage.
Can I use this fly in deeper water?
While designed for shallow water, you can use it in deeper water, but it's more effective in the shallows.
What retrieve should I use?
Vary your retrieve. A slow, steady retrieve can work, but try an erratic retrieve.
How do I ensure a good presentation?
Cast gently to avoid spooking fish, and aim for a natural presentation, mimicking the movement of a shrimp.
Troubleshooting
Fly not sinking quickly enough.
Check the tippet material – heavier tippet will help it sink faster. Also, ensure the fly is not waterlogged. If so, replace it with a new one.
Fly not catching fish.
Experiment with different retrieve speeds and presentations. Change fly size or color if conditions warrant. Consider changing location
