Nerz-Garnele

The shrimp profile on this thing is spot on, and the bonefish on my last flat trip hammered it on the first cast. Even kept working after a few toothy misses, which surprised me.

Tied one of these on before a flats trip and the bonefish tore it up on the third cast. The realistic shrimp shape rides just right in the water, and it held together through a dozen aggressive takes without losing its profile.

These flies have an incredibly realistic shrimp profile that the bonefish seem to key in on right away. Cast one near a cruising fish and it’s game over before the second strip. Solidly built too, they’ve held up well after a few hard-fought catches.
