The ESL Shrimp is a highly realistic and durable shrimp imitation, designed with one clear goal in mind: to fool sea trout.
Christian Krogh was inspired to tie this pattern after seeing shrimp flies by Kenneth Hejnfelt, and the result is a fly that both looks alive in the water and holds up fish after fish. The pattern can be tied in many different color combinations and with a variety of materials, making it easy to adapt to different conditions and personal preferences.
Most importantly, the ESL Shrimp is proven to work — sea trout absolutely love it.
This is one of those patterns you should always have in your fly box, whether you’re fishing the coast or your local spots.
