Cross Eyed Shrimp

No comments yet

Fly fishing and especially sight-fishing for Redfish is fantastic, and something all fly fishermen should experience at least once in their lifetime. The sight of a redfish in shallow water with waving tail can make anyone soft in the knees. But which flies to put in the box – in this video, Jake Villwock from Relentless Flyfishing will demonstrate one of his favorites for sight fishing in shallow water, namely his upside-down pattern "The Cross Eyed Shrimp".

The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
