{{+1}}Tidal flats shrimp – tan{{-1}}
{{start}}
This fly is basically my original mud prawn that I released in 2003 and have now miniaturised and modified so as to represent the sort shrimp that you find on tidal flats in tropical waters. As an aside I note there is anecdotal evidence that there are permit and even bonefish on some of the local Central Queensland tidal flats so the search is on to find them. This tan version is the most translucent of my tidal flats shrimp and is my go to version for crystal clear water.{{end}}

{{+1}}Chatto’s flats minnow{{-1}}
{{start}}
This is a fly that I developed specifically for sight fishing on the flats to the likes of bream, flathead, bonefish and permit. It's a very fishy looking fly and has a little blood spot that adds to the appearance of the fly being a wounded fish.{{end}}
{{+1}}Pregnant prawn – size #1/0 7 cm long{{-1}}
{{start}}
An ideal fly for targeting bottom feeders such as bream, flathead, flounder, whiting, bonefish or tropical trigger fish. Because of the lead shot it sinks quickly, swims hook point up, resisting snagging up on detritus matter or bottom structure such as shells or small stones, and as it is retrieved, has the added benefit on soft bottoms of kicking up a little sand or mud in much the same way as the natural.{{end}}
{{+1}}Combo crab{{-1}}
{{start}}
Whilst not as realistic looking as my Leather Crab pattern the Combo Crab is my preferred crab pattern because it casts so much better and as a consequence you get more fishing time. You may notice that the fly has only three sets of legs plus claws whilst the natural has four sets of legs plus claws. You can add an extra set if you like but I have found that it is much easier dealing with only three sets of legs and it doesn't appear to diminish the quality of the representation.{{end}}
