Pink/Sand and mud prawn patterns for grunter

[briansflyfishing]

These are two flies that I tied for Grunter.
One represent mud prawns and the other a pink or sand prawn.

Very neatly done!
I have not done fly fishing at all, but always wonder how you guys ensure that the sinking flies always land right-side up in the water. Or is it not important?

Those are great looking fly's!!!

Brilliant flies. 

How about a SBS on one of them ?

I'm really impressed.

Yes it is important especially with prawn and crab immitations. The dumbell or bead chains tied on the bottom of the hook shank helps in this case..


I will work on a SBS and post in a while.
