This is a fly of my design. My buddy Phil Rowley named it the Bubba Gump Shrimp. It is a suggestive pattern that I use right after ice off in the shallows. Trout early on will key in shrimp and leaches. This pattern represents both. My buddy Rick Miyauchi designed a similar pattern we affectionately called Kismet. The only difference is that the body on Kismet is straight olive/brown brill.
If you fly fish at Fish Lake at Nordegg, this is my "go to" fly! We camp there often with our grandkids and family!
In the fall, the Bubba Gump Shrimp is quite effective along drop offs and on shallow flats areas.
