Shrimp
Blue Romy's Sand Shrimp
Mediterranean shrimp variant
MulletShallow
A blue-toned MacLeod pattern for fish that respond better to blue than to classic tan. Effective on flathead mullet in Mediterranean contexts and on fish swimming singly in clear, shallow margins.
Fish this when
Mediterranean-style venues, clear shallow margins, flathead mullet, or fish that have refused all the tan and olive shrimp options.
Why it works
MacLeod reports success in the Mediterranean with this pattern. Blue-toned flies sometimes outperform naturalistic shrimp colours in very clear water or bright sun.
