Li'lDave 0 Report post Posted September 25, 2014 Due date 30 November 2014. Standard rules.... I'm Australian so postage is important.... paypal, GB pounds or US dollars accepted (to help me participate in future swaps). Please include toe tags (I'm a serial offender I know). 6 tiers including myself, and everyone ties 10 flies (so we all end up with 2 of everyone else's pattern)... You won't get your own back. The ties must be suitable for fishing on the flats. Target doesn't matter although I will ask you to specify what the primary target is for your tie. For something different please also provide a materials list for your tie, maybe with an explanation of any tricky bits. SM - Marabou shrimp (#1/0 SL12S, flatwaxed nylon thread (orange), medium lead eyes, pink marabou feathers, grizzle hackle, and glass beads melted onto 45lb schneider for the shrimp eyes) Targets: golden trevally and painted sweetlip/ blue bastard). READY TO FISH 2. Atxdiscgolfer - Mono Mullet -- ARRIVED 3. Mcgx2 - Docky's Shrimp -- ARRIVED 4. Agn54 - Glass Minnow -- As good as in the mail!! 5. Vicrider - Bonefish Bitters -- Arrived 6. Horseshoes - Red Flats Shrimp -- Arrived Giddy up! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vicrider 0 Report post Posted September 26, 2014 I will get in with the Bonefish Bitters. Will have to see what I've got left in saltwater hooks to make sure it'll work but think I have enough 6 to do them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Li'lDave 0 Report post Posted September 26, 2014 Just to clarify everyone... 6 tiers, including myself... tie 10 flies so everyone gets 2 of each tie, and we don't get our own back. I've been off work this week... so I have been practising, and well.... I'm ready to go.... If you're good boys and girls I have also been experimenting with a crab pattern we use here on golden trevally (and permit)... they take a bit of time and effort so I might tie an extra one for everyone.

Horseshoes 0 Report post Posted September 29, 2014 Dave forgot to write that is an attractor, such as why it resembles a shrimp. Have no fear it is a proven fly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
