Freshwater Shrimp
Shrimps may be a variety of colours from slate grey - golden olive, but never orange (This is the affect of digestive juices in trout gut). May have a red spot halfway down the body - this is a parasite

Fish concentrate on them in early spring - mid-Summer, when the shrimp are spawning, and free-swimming.

Where- Fertile lochs.

 Brackish lochs have various species.
