You're using a lot of UV resin there Will! 😁

Here's my latest snapper flies. Experimenting lately with lumo tube at the front of the hook. Small snapper absolutely love lumo green, so now I'm trying lumo red. It works very well just as light is fading. I'm not really into fishing in total darkness.

The attractiveness of these lumo flies to small snapper may be a problem. Still experimenting at this stage.

Yep, Mr Marquand's krill flies have got everyone thinking and tying

I'm not convinced that fish see any of these flies as krill, but possibly they like the colour.

I tied up some fluffier marabou versions in hot orange yesterday and caught a parore! I didn't catch a trevally and didn't even get a touch from the usually abundant baby snapper. The parore capture was interesting though. Let us know if the pink fly works kingaling
