Shrimp – the fruit of the sea! And of the backcountry, for where Capt. Mark Giacobba designed this fly to look like a shrimp, act like a shrimp and get eaten like a shrimp. As I scarf down a shrimp taco while writing this description, I can’t help but daydream about Giacobba’s Skrimp scooting past a mangrove root where a slobby snook waits in ambush mode.
Use a brown marker to bar the tail. We recommend the Dark Brown colored PrismColor Marker.
Here are the materials to come up with your own Skrimp Variations
