Here's a great flats fly! One of my favourites for bonefish, but it'll catch pretty much anything on the flats. Tie them big for permit and trevally or go smaller for bones, and triggerfish.

Very nice fly. I’ve been watching and learning from your videos for years and just subscribed to your channel. This fly has caught many bonefish for me in the Bahamas and is one of my favorites. Next stop will be Belize and I’m sure it’ll work there too. Thank you for sharing your talent with us!

Martyn, Great job tying the Peterson Spawning Shrimp. Definitely one of the best renditions I've seen of how the original is meant to be tied.

+Eric Peterson Thanks Eric, I often see people posting pictures of the spawning shrimp that are basically jut Gotchas with eyes so I thought I'd do the video. I missed out the sparkle body as I haven't really found it makes much difference, I think it's the profile that makes this such a good fly. Check out my other videos too, comments are always appreciated. All the best Martyn

Nice looking fly.I've started tying flies for catching Australian whiting, a member of the bonefish family. I'm basing most of them on bonefish patterns. By the way, where are you from. I'm a Scot now living in Australia.

Really enjoyed tying this pattern and it looks deadly, thanks for the great video. Heading to Grand Bahama early March.

I've never fished these heavy flys, planning on it next month. Do these patterns all fish upside down with a dumbell or bead chain? I've seen crab and different shrimp patterns with dumbells and the hook's pointed down, not up like this shrimp. Will they not fish upside down?

@FlickingFeathers 3 года назад

The side of hook that has the weight is usually the bottom of the fly, but other things in the dressing can affect that too. So can your leader.

@brennantrask1865 3 года назад

So even though you tired the weight on the top of the hook, you tied the everything else on the bottom and thus the fly will float with the hook pointing up?

@FlickingFeathers 3 года назад

So on this fly the weight and the body are working together to make sure that the hook rides point up

Thank you! That's awesome and fascinating.
