BTS Mysis

A resident of a number of lakes and reservoirs across the Rockies and Western US, Mysis Shrimp are a key forage species supporting some of the most productive lake and tailwater trout fisheries. These opaque, semi-translucent, protein-rich shrimp are an elusive prey in the reservoirs in which they grow. However, it is in the tailwaters below the reservoirs that their importance really comes to light. Flushed into the tailwaters as water is released from the dam, the mysis shrimp helplessly drift downstream into the waiting jaws of hungry trout. An abbreviation for "Better than Sex", the BTS Mysis lives up to its reputation as one of the most deadly shrimp patterns on the water!
