Shallow Water Shrimp

This is an extremely small profile pattern for very skinny water and spooky fish. For reference, the size #8 in this pattern looks more like a size 14 in our opinion. However, believe it or not we have found ourselves tying bonefish flies this size in Belize after getting punished by larger bonefish that wouldn't touch anything but a micro shrimp or sand flea pattern. It's a good idea to have at least a few of these along just in case they won't touch larger patterns.
