Sawgrass Shrimp
Built for backcountry creeks, mangrove edges, and juvenile tarpon rolling through shallow water, the Sawgrass Shrimp is a proven inshore pattern designed to trigger reaction eats from fish hunting small crustaceans in tight cover. Tied on a Size 2 Tarpon Streamer Hook, this fly lands light, breathes naturally, and stays compact enough for pressured fish in calm water conditions.
Fish it with short ticks and varying retrieve speeds to imitate a fleeing shrimp. The erratic movement is what makes this pattern dangerous.
