Pattegrisen
Baltic shrimp default
Sea troutMid-depth
Pink EP-fibre shrimp with wiggly profile. One of the two or three flies that launched modern Danish coastal fly fishing. Essential if you fish a Fyn beach once a year.
Fish this when
Danish and Swedish Baltic coastlines, shallow water, daytime.
Why it works
Pink reads as a moulting shrimp to Baltic sea trout hunting the shoreline. Soft profile breathes on every pause.
