Snapping Shrimp

[Acuna]

What is the recipe for the bonefish pattern known as a "snapping shrimp"? Searched the internet and blanked... I figured you guys could help.

Acuna,
When you do a search for flies, instead of snapping shrimp use snapping shrimp fly. That will zero you in more.

------------------
I look into... my fly box, and think about all the elements I should consider in choosing the perfect fly: water temperature, what stage of development the bugs are in, what the fish are eating right now. Then I remember what a guide told me: 'Ninety percent of what a trout eats is brown and fuzzy and about five-eighths of an inch long.' - Allison Moir.

I wonder if he ever fished Saltwater

Hey JC
Clean your glasses, he wanted information on the Snapping Shrimp not the Standing Shrimp.
