Overview

Chewy’s Halo Shrimp, created by signature tyer Capt. Dave Chouinard, is a refined shrimp imitation designed to target highly pressured flats species like bonefish, permit, and redfish. This fly was purpose-built for technical saltwater environments where presentation and realism can make or break your shot. Its unique balance comes from a center-mounted Jig Bomb bead, which keeps the fly horizontal in the water column while riding hook-point up to reduce snags over seagrass, sand, or coral.

 

The lightweight design allows it to land softly in skinny water, ideal for tailing fish or spooky cruisers in shallow bays. Sparse yet effective materials give it a translucent, buggy profile without overloading the fly, while subtle flash mimics the glimmer of a real shrimp’s carapace. Whether you’re wading clear flats, poling mangrove edges, or targeting predators around dock lights, Chewy’s Halo Shrimp offers a soft footprint, natural movement, and a confident hook-up profile that makes it a reliable choice in any saltwater box.
