Another great exercise in simplicity , typical of Chico Fernadez's flies. Chico's snapping shrimp is a great skinny water bonefish fly, but I've also caught carp, snapper, emperor and trevally on this pattern and I'm sure it will work for others too.

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.
