Saltwater Flyrodders

Fished under bridge this morning. Lots of herring. I caught about 15 in just over an hour.
It was bloody freezing, I couldn't stand it any longer.
Pity they don't get herring in Weipa, I might think about moving there.

Hi Roger,
What flies do you use for the herring? And what size fly
Sam

Hi Sam
Just white clousers on a size 4 or 6 hook.
A bit of craft fur and meybe tied on with some red thread and a bit of flash.
If their on the bite they will take almost anything that is retreived quickly.

Come clean Roger! That green thingamajiggy squiggle tail is not made of fur

Thanks Roger,
I will try them with a quick retrieve.
Have a good one.

Does it have eye lashes as well Rudolph?

Hi Roger,
I went to the bridge on Saturday and caught a dozen or more herring. Small - 20 to 30cm - but great fun on the 3#. Now I am going to get my smoker going and next time I'll keep a couple. I wish there I knew of a place on the Swan where I can have as much fun with herring.

Kind regards

Sam

Won't be wading in the estuary for a while:

A new species to target on fly in Mandurah !!!!

Don't be such a woose Rudolph. You should know that 'Malcolm' the monster stingray will keep him away from us.
At least sharks don't try and hump your leg.
