95% of the time, there’s a shrimp at the end of my line when I start my seatrout trips in the salt. I begin with shrimp patterns because they’re a good size, and you can fish them fast when you’re searching for fish, explains danish flytyer and flyfisher Per Tofting.
"This pattern has a very neutral look, but most of the time I like to add a small amount of hot or UV-coloured dubbing for the “mouth parts” or another small area in a contrasting colour. You can also use hot colours on the eyes. I don’t use much flash in my shrimp patterns — and in some of the really effective ones, none at all."
