Moore River - June 2015 Field day

[Andre Rossouw]

Hi all

This months field day is Moore River ( http://bit.ly/1SUzxiL )
We will meetup at 7:30am at the car park near the boat ramp. The "weigh-in" will be at 4:00pm also at the car park near the boat ramp

Challenges will be:
* Largest Bream
* Largest Tailor
* Largest Salmon
* Try and catch a fish on a Baited Breath fly (http://www.illawarraflyfishers.com.au/f ... breath.htm). Any colour combinations and hook sizes allowed.
* Any other species over 20cm.

It is a great day out. They do make a awesome burger at the local Cafe. The boat ramp is in pretty good nick. If you have never caught a Bream on fly before this is the place to do it!!

Field day forms will be available at the meetup on Sunday morning.

See you guys there!

I havnt been here before. What weight rod should I bring 8 or 10? What depth of water is it and is it fast flowing? I take it small flies will be better? I take it its mainly small fish were after so 6lb line or something?

The weather forecast for Sunday looks good. If you have a 4-6 weight, that would probably be more suitable of the estuary. Floating lines should be fine. If you feel you need to get a little deeper, a sink tip or intermediate is handy.
If you intend to fish the beach, then maybe the 8wt.
6lb leader for the estuary, small charlies, gotcha, bms, clousers.

Sounds like a fun day. Neat waterway...

Just confirmed that the river mouth is still closed.
So water levels will be a bit high but it will make for better fishing conditions.

See you guys there Sunday morning
