In this video Jay Nicholas demonstrates his “Estuary Shrimp” fly pattern. It’s a proven pattern for Sea Run Cutthroat and it’s going to get some serious “water time” for spring chinook. This glass bead style shrimp variation can be changed up to work for surf perch and bonefish.
Glass Bead Estuary Shrimp
Hook: SS15 Gamakatsu or 811S TMC
Beads: Large Orange
Thread: White Veevus 10/0
Tail: Ice Dub Fl . Shell Pink
Butt: Ice Dub Rusty Brown

Just made a light pink version and a version that is light green with tan mixed. Both have worked well.
Thanks Jay.
