Friday Night Flies – Peterson Spawning Shrimp
With the cold weather in Canada settling in, many of us take off on vacation to get one last hit of sun before the white out. If you find yourself in this situation, make sure to grab the travel rod and a few saltwater patterns. The Peterson Spawning Shrimp was a pattern recommended to me by fellow guide Thomas Rasmussen who guided out in Barbados for a number of years. I’m glad I took the time to fill a box with these fish treats in a variety of sizes and colors. Not much didn’t touch this fly when I was out on the sand flats in the Caribbean Islands area.
