Mulloway love my prawn flies

[fishnuts 55]

Mate they can be tied both waysHook point upHook point downAnd never worry about snagging them because if you aren't down where the fish are you probably won't get any bites either. If your worried about loosing them just tie them with a weed guard and you'll be fine.By the way, give us a look at some pics of the ones you've tied, I'm very interested to see how all of you guys flies have turned out.Cheers Darren

Mate crush the barbs , it makes them alot easier to get out of your hide when you are learning to cast Maybe I should have mentioned that :whistle: Look up my post titled " Playing with my Junglecock " that's the one I'm using on Yellow fin whiting but there is no reason these tied in smaller sizes won't work.Let us know how you go.Cheers Darren

I would start practicing with the small flies, one of my bigger ones came back and hit me in the leg on the forward cast and OUCH! did that hurt.

Fishzilla,The size of the fly to practice with won't matter but the weight will. Just tie a piece of wool to the end of the leader and away you go, get out on a oval and flog it to death. It'll all come together with a bit of practice. Good luck mate.Glad to hear about your whiting spot too mate, just a bit more warm weather and they should start to get real active. Cheers Darren
