I went out to test my new shrimp pattern on Sunday.
I hooked up two fish but I dropped both of them unfortunately.
I thought one of them was a decent size guessing from the way it was pulling away my fly line. I brought the fish to the end of the fly line, then the hook came off. After that, I didn't get any hit. The tide went slack, so it was time to go home.
Knowing I struggle to get even a single take from black bream with some other fly patterns on the market, I guess I am happy with my out come on Sunday.
It looks realistic enough especially when it gets wet.I hooked up two fish but I dropped both of them unfortunately.

新型シュリンプパターンを巻いてフィールドテストへ。
先週と違いエビの姿は一匹も見えず。そこでまず、ベイトパターンを結んで探りを入れます。最初の一匹を釣って、クロダイがいる事が分かったので、さっそくエビのパターンに変更。
ドロップオフに沿って毛鉤を引いてくると「ゴツン」とアタリが。引きからすると良さそうな魚だったと思いますが、ネットを出した所で、フックアウトの残念賞。その後も小さいのを一匹かけましたが、これもフックアウト。毛鉤のデザインに問題があるのか、そうでないのか、テストを続けてみないと分かりません。

This was one I got before switching to the shrimp pattern.

Is the fly riding hook point up or down? Do you think the hookup rate will improve if it was riding up?
It is designed to fish with flow like you do for trout with wet flies, and the hook point is facing down when the fly is drifting.
I believe the fly swims more naturally with this way in the current. The point acts like a keel, I guess.
I don't think it matters that match which way the point facing in terms of loosing fish.
If the hook goes into a good spot (e.g. on the corner of the jaws), it will not come off usually.
If it's gone into a hard spot (e.g. at the top part of fish's mouth), or didn't go deep enough, it will more likely to come off.
A big bream does a thing Chris and I called "bream role" though. The fish comes up to the surface and rolls towards you. This gives you some slack in the line, and the fly gets pulled away from its mouth especially if you are using a barb less hook which I do.
Still need to catch a bream, so no experience with them. :)
Prefer barb less hooks as well. In the competitive fishing (trout), I started using hooks that had the point slightly bent in, so it give you a bit more play when the fish turns suddenly.
