HI VIS SHRIMP
I have been using this fly successfully for the past five years. Can be used to sight cast to fish or dead drifted along an edge. Has had good success on black bream, mulloway and flathead in the south and mangrove jacks in the north.
The UV sparkleflash make this fly highly visible in low light conditions. Fish either late in the day or in dirty water. Watch for takes on the drop and generally fish dead slow or twitched.
Materials :
Hook : Size 4 - 2/0 Mustad 34007 or Gamakatsu SS15
Eyes : 40lb mono, ends burnt to form eyes.
Body : UV Sparkleflash wrapped the full length of the shank coated with Devcon 5 min epoxy.
Carapace : UV Sparkleflash coated with Devcon 5 min epoxy.
Feelers : UV sparkleflash.
Tail : Short tuft of UV sparkleflash.
This is the same fly on a dark background. Note how the UV sparkleflash catches any available light. A photograph just doesn't do this product justice.
Good Luck.
