Is it a shrimp or a squid? It doesn't matter! Fish find the squimp irresistible!
This fly is tied on a Gama SL-11 3H. The Gamakatsu SL-11 3H is one of the strongest and sharpest hooks available, and worth every penny when you hook-up with a fish of a lifetime!
Additionally, new production also includes a weed guard, which can easily be trimmed off if it is not necessary.
This squimp fly took a lot of bonefish on the flats at Cayo Cruz, Cuba. It also attracted the attention of some permit. Along with the tan mantis shrimp fly it was the choice of several guides from a well stocked box of flies (except in the rare times when there was little wind over the skinny water flats (when a tan unweighted crazy charlie worked well).

Recently fished Huntington Harbor with this fly and landed several sand bass while trolling this fly near the bottom of the bay.

Our party of 12 fly fisherman caught six permit and many bonefish in Ascension Bay using the Squimp fly. All six Permit were caught on the Squimp once reports of success were revealed. Shame there were only a very few Squimp Flies available and the majority of Permit we're caught on a # 4 size.
Tan colored sand in this area of the Yucatan also aided the tan Squimp success. Take this fly if you are going to the Yucatan!
