PHP Warning: Use of undefined constant VBA_SCRIPT - assumed 'VBA_SCRIPT' (this will throw an Error in a future version of PHP) in ..../includes/functions_navigation.php(802) : eval()'d code on line 1 Estuary Fly Fishing
I have recently aquired a fly heap of fly tying gear as well as a rod and reel suited for the estuaries. I am keen as mustard to get back into fly fishing after a long break and have never fly fished in the salt.
I have already made a heap of decievers, crazy charlies, zonkers, surf candys and a few home brewed prawn pattens.
I was wondering what would be some decent flys to use in the estuaries on the goldy for trevally, bream, flatties and well anything really.
Sounds like you have just about got it covered already. Any fly that resembles small baitfish/prawns/crabs will do the job. At this time of year, work the sandbank dropoffs for flatties, and bream and any structure for bream and squire - rocks, rubble and shallow reefs. I find a 2-3" white deceiver with yellow ontop with flash works well around Moreton bay
Crumbo ,
the Clouser would have to be the easiest baitfish profile you can get and every species you have outlined there on them I don't know of many saltwater fish that can't be caught on a clouser I have seen people catch milk fish to juvinile black marlin on them
Bassbuster ,
I reckon they would suite you for Tailor to, as they take half the time to tie than a deceiver (traditionaly tied) which I reckon is important around anything with teeth that is shy of wire
