The Sparkle Shrimp, is mentioned in Fly Fishing for Pacific Salmon and Flies for Alaska as a successful fly for all species of Salmon and Steelhead tied in various colors. In Flies for Alaska, Anthony Route says that he has had great success with it, but carries just four colors, black, orange, chartruese an hot pink. The Hot Pink, Sparkle Shrimp, seen here is my favorite for Siver Salmon, Charteuese for Chums, Orange for Kings. This example is perhaps a bit heavy in the tail. A little sparser would have made a better fly.
