Advice for use
This is a light fly that is very easy to cast with 6 to 8 weight rods and is mainly used with floating lines, special sea bass lines, in shallow water between the rows of oyster beds and all areas of shallow clear water at the end of the ebb tide and the very beginning of the flood tide.
As we operate most often in open water and under strong luminosity, the use of transparent ”ghost” floating lines can be crucial to the success of your approach and your fishing action (Monic type).

The size of the fly should be adapted to the size of the shrimp on the bass menu.

The clearer and shallower the fishing area, the longer and thinner the leader should be (discretion when casting and elasticity when hitting big fish).

To be tied to the end of the tippet with a loop knot to improve its backward swimming action (Perfection loop & Homer Rhode knots).
Ideally a Rio type SW fluorocarbon tip from 06 to 10 lbs.

The line should be retrieved with short, jerky pulls to simulate the shrimp swimming backwards.
The strike/take is generally frank and violent.
But it can be very subtle on beautiful and more educated fish.
Any loss of contact must be punished by a strong strike by pulling on the line with the left hand (right hand for left-handers).
Very often, this imitative fly is frankly engorged from the first strip after its entry in the water.

Tied on a Tiemco 811 hook.
