hey guys, am new to the forum. so here my first topic! shrimp flys......do you actually think a salmon grabs the shrimp fly thinking it is a shrimp? or it just grabs it out of sheer agression? btw was everyones season as poor as the one i had? ps. i only got two fish this season, one of them was 6 pound and almost so thin you could call it an eel. unbelievable!  |

Welcome to the forum.
Today I will neither correct your punctuation or even Colin's but please use capital letters at the start of sentences.
I think that some shrimp patterns resemble shrimps more than others, the famous Ali Shrimp, a modified GP, is not as nearly shrimp like as a Frances.

I'm supprised WG, it should be neither ... nor, not neither ... or. The converse of course, as we all know is either ... or.

Welcome to the forum Shrimpin, I think you sort of answered the question yourself  I would think that some fish will take the fly as a 'food imitation' and some will take it out of sheer aggression. If only we really new  ATB Gary |

Hi Shrimpin and welcome!
I think the fish takes the fly in a response to programmed feeding instincts that carry over from it's marine environment. The more wiggly/prawny/sea prey like the better. I think thats why the fly boys constantly stuff the spinners; their lure (fly) much more looks the part.
Also you said, ' I only got two this season'; for me thats a good return if you really are just starting. Were these on fly?
I think you'll enjoy this forum, particularly in these dark months before the start of the season; just mind your spelling, we have a Doctor of Letters who takes no nonsence. Tight lines Shrimpin.

Could that be WG doing humble? It's as close as it gets, make the most of it. |

Tight lines tomorrow and if you are out with a long carbon stick you had better hope lightening does not strike at all.
Remember I’m has an apostrophe

To everyone concerned, regarding spelling and grammar, isn't it about time we knocked this correcting on the head as it has been proven that none of us are perfect and I'm sure it could put some people off posting. their are times when you're advice makes understanding what people are trying to say difficult a few full stop's and the odd capital letter sometimes help's if you can see what i mean well done on you're day i often find that the fish dont take well in windy condition's |

Elwyman, Sorry about that. Soothron, is Old Scots for English. I take it you are Welsh. I'm not sure of the Old Scots word for Welsh but Sheepsha@@er is a common modern day replacement. Will that do until I find out? ;D As Altmor said earlier....Ahhh .....The Banter  |
