The Rubber mouth shrimp created by Erik Lewstam is a fantastic fly when coastal fishing for sea trout. This combination of natural colors has proven to outfish other patterns particularly in clear and calm conditions when the water is a bit warmer. The segmented body creates a nice transparency combined with great movement from the CDC imitating swimming legs. Fish this fly with slow retrieves and long stops letting it hover. The take usually comes when the fly is hovering.
