Hi all, newby flyfisher here, well I've had a fly outfit for a few years, but have never really used it much. Have decided to get off my butt and put a bit of time and effort and try and get me a fish on fly .
I would like to know if there any reasonably quiet areas in the Mackay/Sarina area that are worth a look. I know there is a creek at Greenhill that is very open at the mouth, I reckon that would be worth a shot.
I will be using a 9 weight outfit, probably overkill for bream and little cod, but I bought it with the intention of chasing some barra in the dams.
Try out the sand spit that reaches out to the southern bank (red beacon) of the Pioneer River mouth. It's a bit of a walk but if you get out there at the right tide there should be bream, cod, flatties and some good GT's and queenies.
I've even caught spanish mackerel, 1m+ queenies and mack tuna from that spot (from a boat though but still right there). You got a good mix of options from there with rocks, sand flats and deep holes depending on how you want to fish.
Thanks mate, I'll keep the spot in mind. I thought about going in this weekend, but looks like it will be blowing 30 knots or better, if that's the case, I'll give it a miss and hope it improves for the following week.
