"Asking about shrimp etc for LRF, I replied to Mark Sleep with the following...."
The original thread is in the LRF/HRF section.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have found most shrimp imitations too large to truly imitate ours.
However: You've seen the effect the tiny little craws have.
I personally believe the shrimp to be a number 1 source of food for nearly all the LRF/HRF targets here Mark.
I know from personal experience that Spey flies are 'deadly' and they are effectively, shrimp and prawn patterns.
I'm about to send a great fly tier a challenge. I want some prawn tied jigs. We need size 6, 4 and 2 I reckon on 1 and 2g heads.
LRF encompasses the use of dressed jigs and this is where the skills of the fly tier cross over.
On Bombarda or the 6g Japanese floats and casting eggs I've asked Mick to order, Mr Elliot has already sent me some beautiful works of art.
Just waiting to do the review and testing at a time when we can maximise species. Easter onwards I reckon. He ties the most fantastic stuff for great prices and I reckon we could be opening up another area of expansion here for forward thinking tiers.

Who's up for that challenge ?
