Mitchell’s Hot Orange Cream Itchy & Scratchy Stealth 

Lightweight Flats Shrimp Fly for Permit, Bonefish & Triggerfish

Mitchell’s Hot Orange Cream Itchy & Scratchy Stealth is a lighter-weight version of the legendary Itchy & Scratchy—built for situations where you need the same proven profile, but less weight for shallower water and lighter current.

As Michael says:
“A crittery/shrimp pattern that one can ‘swim’ or ‘crawl’.”

That versatility is exactly why the Itchy & Scratchy has earned its reputation as one of the best utility flats patterns out there. Fish it with short strips to imitate a fleeing shrimp, or slow it down and crawl it along the bottom when fish are feeding tight and staying picky.

The Stealth version shines when you want a slower sink rate, better control in skinny water, or a fly that won’t dive too quickly in minimal current. It’s a proven producer for permit, bonefish, and triggerfish, and an easy “must-have” for any serious flats box.
