Polar Shrimp
4.3 / 5
(0 Reviews)
Description
The Polar Shrimp, designed by Clarence Shoff in 1936 for California's Eel River steelhead, has become a classic pattern for steelhead and salmon fishing. Its vibrant orange body and contrasting white wing effectively imitate shrimp or egg clusters, making it particularly effective in cold, clear waters.
Curated by the IdentaFly fly fishing team.
Pro Tip
Cold Water Conditions: The bright colors of the Polar Shrimp make it especially effective in cold, clear water conditions, attracting steelhead and salmon when other patterns may go unnoticed.
