Suspending Shrimp Fly Tying Tutorial

This video is a tutorial of the suspending shrimp fly. It's a great pattern for redfish, snook, tripletail, and baby tarpon This pattern can be tied in a myriad of colors, but the tan and brown colors are my favorites. For dark water and in the everglades, root beer is a great color. This is a great pattern to practice with deer hair. It suspends, hence the name, and stays upright. You may think that with the bead chain, it would flip, but the deer hair floats and keeps it riding upright. If you have trouble with it flipping, either use a thicker gauge hook or use less deer hair. This fly really shines in two scenarios. The first is thick grass with tailing redfish. With a good weed guard, this fly will glide right through thick turtlegrass without hanging up, just like a fleeing shrimp. Redfish hammer this fly in that scenario. The second is backcountry areas with dark water around mangroves like in the everglades. There, I think the snook, redfish, and tarpon mistake this fly for a finger mullet. It has a thick profile and moves some serious water, just like a finger mullet. Give the suspending shrimp a try today.
