White Shrimp

White Shrimp Description

The White Shrimp salmon fly is not a traditional shrimp pattern because of the strips of Mallard in place of the front hackle. You could say that it's slighly ungamely but when all else fails it can take fresh fish because of the fact that patterns like this are not seen too often. Try the White Shrimp anytime when fish are steadfastly refusing the traditional shrimp patterns.
