Mysis Shrimp — Tiny Shrimp, Big Trout Drama

Meet the Mysis Shrimp: a small freshwater shrimp fly that shows up looking like dinner and disappears looking like a victory. If trout had a preferred takeout, this would be it — tied simply, fished broadly, and ready to make your next cast a headline.

Made for anglers who prefer results over fuss. Perfect for trout and other freshwater predators, whether you’re stalking gin-clear streams or muddier lakes. AXG Life — Life, Adventure-Ready.

Key Features & Design

• Imitates: Small freshwater mysis shrimp — a natural forage for trout and similar species.
• Sizes: Available in sizes 14–22 to match hatches and picky eaters.
• Construction: Simple, effective tied pattern that reads like food to fish (and not like a tourist).
• Versatility: Can be fished in a variety of water conditions — lakes, streams, and reservoirs.

Performance & Benefits

Why carry the Mysis Shrimp in your box? Because it solves the classic problem: trout don’t read your itinerary — they eat what’s on the menu. This fly’s realistic profile and range of sizes mean you can match the hatch or bluff your way through a slow spell.

• Turns finicky trout into enthusiastic eaters — even on days they’re trying to be dramatic.
• Simple tying means consistent behavior in the water, so your presentation stays believable cast after cast.
• Small sizes let you finesse spooky water; larger sizes add presence when fish are feeling greedy.
• Ready for lowlight dawns, slack-water flats, and those “I’ll try anything” afternoons.

AXG Life tip: Toss one under a slow swing or let it sit weightless near structure — the shrimp silhouette sells the idea. You provide the cast, it provides the story.
