Description
The Avalon Fly - It imitates a giant shrimp and is a must-have for any angling expedition, credited with catching more permit than any other fly in the Caribbean. Its remarkable success extends beyond permit, making it an equally effective choice for targeting bonefish, tarpon, and jacks. A versatile and reliable pattern.
Pro Tip
It SINKS faster than other patterns and it stays linear when stripping the line, simulating a shrimp.
