Scampi Tie
Shrimp flies are excellent early-season patterns to use. Shrimp are a staple food of many of South Jersey’s saltwater estuary fish species, and they are present year-round. This fly can be hopped off the bottom in short strips, swam through the water with short or long strips, or allowed to dead-drift through productive spots. It can be tied with dumbbell eyes (as shown) for presentations near the bottom or for a more pronounced “hop” in the water, or with bead-chain eyes for less “hop” in the water, or even with mono eyes for surface or slow sinking dead-drifting in a chum slick.
