Note #1: Simulates: Mysid Shrimp and Krill (Euphausia) Habitats: Saltwater (estuaries, inshore, and open water) These tiny crustaceans are found throughout the world. They are key food items for everything from whales to gamefish. I use them in particular to target saltwater salmon, sea-run cutthroat trout, and sea-run Dolly Varden. Note: This pattern is a springboard off my Furled Alevin. K. Hanley design (original created / 2004) |
