Capture the attention of permit, bonefish, and other sight-feeding species with the Rio Avalon Fly—a refined shrimp pattern designed to sink quickly, crawl naturally, and click across the bottom for maximum realism.
Built for finesse fishing, this shrimp fly features lead eyes that ensure swift, balanced descent and keep it riding hook-point-up. A bottom mono loop with beads adds an enticing clicking sound and maintains ideal orientation at rest. The Avalon Light version uses smaller lead eyes for shallower water presentations—perfect when subtlety matters.
The slender marabou body and rubber legs closely mimic real shrimp movement in slow-twitching currents. Subtle flash materials simulate shrimp carapace, while the design ensures the fly dances just above the substrate, grabbing attention without spooking wary fish.
