The Poppin’ Flats Shrimp
The Poppin’ Flats Shrimp is a great saltwater pattern for baby tarpon, snook, bonefish, and anything else lurking near the mangroves or on the flats. It is easy to cast with great movement in the water. In shallow water fishing it on a floating like will work, but a full sinking line can give it some different action. Tie this fly and add it to your salt box!
