Description

Shafer's Living Mysis, designed by Joe Shafer, is a proven and reliable pattern for targeting fish that feed on Mysis shrimp. This fly is a must-have for any angler pursuing Mysis-eating trout.

Pro Tip

Use a slow, steady retrieve to mimic the natural movement of Mysis shrimp. If fish are hesitant, try varying your retrieve speed or incorporating longer pauses to encourage a strike. Drifting under an indicator works well!
