Ward’s Skipping Shrimp – Tan (Rainy’s Flies)

Ward’s Skipping Shrimp – Tan (Rainy’s Flies)

Ward’s Skipping Shrimp is built for one job — skipping, sliding, and fleeing across the surface just like the real thing. Rainy’s ties this pattern with a segmented foam body, flared tail legs, and a wide face that helps it skate cleanly across the water while keeping the profile upright and visible.

The result is a high-action shrimp imitation that triggers aggressive eats from redfish, speckled trout, snook, and any predator conditioned to smash a shrimp trying to escape. In tannin-stained marsh water, the tan version disappears just enough to look natural while still throwing the right silhouette.

Whether you’re fishing grass edges, shallow ponds, shell flats, or tight pockets where a fleeing shrimp gets crushed, Ward’s Skipping Shrimp is a confidence pattern that brings violence to the surface.

Why It Works
• Foam body skips across the water with a fleeing-shrimp action
• Rubber legs and flash create lifelike movement on every strip
