Re: Zeeke Aka tim Aka freekin Legend!
I often ask but no one answers why do we tie shrimps swimming backwards when they really swin front first. Thats where their eyes point. Max

Re: Zeeke Aka tim Aka freekin Legend!
dunno.. probably because a shrimps naturally reaction when scared is to flick back.. bit like the tiny hairs on a fishes lateral line, soon as it feels a pressure wave hit it, it makes the fish spasm and move a short distance.. probably the same for shrimp/prawns when a predatory fish goes for them.. so naturally, we fly fishos think we are smart and tie a fly to look like a scurrying shrimp
Tim
p.s. dont know if im correct for others.. but eh.. wild guess??

Re: Zeeke Aka tim Aka freekin Legend!
watch what a shrimp or prawn when he is getting chased... he'll go backwards

Re: Zeeke Aka tim Aka freekin Legend!
Tim, as per our earlier conversation, try the more natural colours as well. I think you'll find the Bream a little more receptive to naturals when they're a bit skittish.
Cant get the pic to load here, so here's the link to it.

Re: Zeeke Aka tim Aka freekin Legend!
only been making flies for a couple of weeks.. and not really spent a whole lot of time making them.. prolly 9hrs in total over those few weeks..
i also am a fan of the Pin Minnows.. they are great baitfish lures and work extremely well on our bream and flathead..
this fly.. if the other fellas also think its great will be used for chasin mack tuna once ive tied up a few... doesnt show in the photo.. but the fly actually has a pale blue back to give it the differing shades of white belly, dark green lateral lines and a blue back
