Work in progress

This 2/0 9cm fly is a barra variant of my mud prawn that I am testing.

It is different to the original mud prawn in that:

1. Bib added to impart movement
2. I have swapped the flash over to gold as this is a favourite colour for barra lures.
3. I have swapped over from epoxy to UV cured resin. This has gone very well except that on hot days the UV resin runs too freely. Need the air conditioner on and the epoxy stored in a fridge for 10 minutes before use.
4. Trialling using squirmy wormy for legs. In have worked out so far that best to Uv resin the fly in two steps. The first to create the body shape and to coat the abdomen and lead shot and the second after tieing in the squirmy legs. For that step only apply a smear over the in of the legs and a drop on top of the legs to lock them in position.
