Really enjoyed that, thanks for posting it. I'm going to have a go at that, looks simple enough. Just a few valley & mountain folds and a few tucks. Not sure if it could be used as a lure or what not. I'll have a bash and let you know.

I have a main reason for putting it up and oddly enough ur user name was in a thread that caught my attention [which thoroughly discussed me to think there are still ppl like what I read].. how ironical is it when there are other ppl in this world, who can and do show their talent, but happen to be not of your kind..

..you need to understand what the word ..talented.. means..because fly tiers are gifted, and that is talent, just like the chap who can play soccer, or footie, or whatever sport you like..or that person who can write whether it is a story, a poem or a script that is used in an art program..and this person, who can create a shrimp, fish or whatever out a straw, or paper, whatever, they are talented..

Errrr.... not me. Anyone else try it?


Are we fly tiers supposed to feel humbled by some geek with a prawn fixation who's ood-ball uncle showed him how to fettle little crinkly crustacean creations? A charming little novelty, AW, nothing more. When do we get the pigs willy?

Either fettle one yerself, with a hook hanging out of it, or get admin to move the post to 'Viewpoint', or 'Good Clean Fun' where it belongs.
