Ben Engle’s “Surf Scrimp” Fly Tying Kit

Ben Engle’s Surf Scrimp pattern is a great chameleon pattern. It can be tied for local stripers and surf perch but is tied on a strong enough hook to tackle even permit or other large flats fish. Play with color combinations as well to represent anything from a crawfish to abaitfish when chasing big trout.
