TYING FISHNUTS PRAWN FLY

[fishnut]

G'day Guys,
I've had a few requests for instructions on how to tie my prawn fly so here's a couple of little videos I made for the whole process. Hope you have fun with it.
Cheers Darren

Excellent how-to thanks Darren. I can see me whiling away a few winter nights this year with this one.

that is fantastic.. How many grams do they weigh?

CatfishKieth I have no idea how much they weigh as I've never weighed them.
By adding thicker lead wire you can put enough weight into them to throw them on an ultralight 2kg Bream outfit when they are tied on size 4 hooks. This I have done before .
Cheers Darren

Mate, that's a brilliant representation! One of the best I have seen.

Tie a smaller, bright pink version and you would have Bream all over it...

Mate there is no dought about it you are a perfectionist, as you no i don't fly fish but i could watch that over & over again .

Thanks Gundy,
I've heard that pink does well but whenever I've tried it on bream down here I haven't had any success. Might have to try it again . I tie them down to size 6 for Bream but any smaller than that and the fly becomes to busy.
Flea I might get you to have a crack with the flyrod soon I think you'd enjoy it.
Cheers Darren

Well done fishnut,thanks for sharing.I wish I had the gear to tie some of these.The thing that holds the hook while you are tying the fly,what are they worth to buy?Some real skill there mate.

[fishnut]

Snapperz if your looking at getting into tying flies you best option is to buy a basic tying kit and start there. You can pick up a basic tying vise and tools in a kit form for about $100.00 from Pro Angler or Mo Tackle and other shops.
Cheers Darren

Thanks fishnut,I spent an hour or so last night looking for fly tying kits and I am seriously considering buying a kit and giving it a go.I didn't think to look at Motackle so will look into that as well.Thanks again.
