Spawing Shrimp

In this video, our volunteer Fabio shows you how to tie the Enrico Puglisi "Spawning Shrimp". This fly is designed to target saltwater species, like bonefish and permit. Just cast in front of tailing/cruising fish, let it sink to the bottom, and strip it away from the fish.
Always match fly weight to the depth that you are fishing as you want the fly to get to the bottom as quickly as possible with the least water disturbance.
This fly can also be used for carp. In that case, you can use a freshwater hook.
