Fly Notes
I have had success using the same body as these and a fox tail wing looks just a little more like the nippers found down south.

Fishing Notes
Cast and let sink fish worth short retrieves then short pause often the hit will come on the pause so be ready.
Target species include, Bream Flathead and tailor will hit it if they are there.

Location Notes
Bridge pylons, over hangs, tight up against weed beds and any structures where bream hide over leases.

Prey Notes

Prawn nipper pattern the bream at Merimbula/Pambula loved it.
