matty89 0 Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 hi everyone after been to some of the club dams at the week end and seeing how clear they are, im goin to try for a native on fly just wondered if anyone has tried this and if so what sort of flys seem to workas seen as they pull so hard they would be real fun on fly gearcheers matty89 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Highfly 0 Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 Sorry Big MNever really tried myself, the fresh has always been monopolised by the trout. Once you sightfish big trouties on the surface on dries hard to go back to casting blind.BIG clousers and Deceivers, BRIGHLY coloured fluro colours should do ok on the yellowbelly and the cod if you know they are there. Have seen a mate tie a BRIGHT fluro spinner fly to use down at wentworth on the cod. No expert but super slow retrieve, with long pauses seems to be the go. I know of a few caught on various nymphs as bycatch. Hope that helps Quote Link to post Share on other sites
matty89 0 Posted December 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 thanks highfly will tie some of the flys you have said up i cant belive no one has done this a yellowbelly and certen a cod will fight better than any troutwell i am going to try for a yellowbelly first i think it would be an easier targetcheers matty89 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

fishnuts 55 Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 G'day Matty I've just seen your post. I'm heading over to Victoria next week with the kayak to have a fish for Cod and here's what I'll be chucking at them. They are called Foambergs but they are really just Dahlberg Divers with the head created with EVA foam sheet material. They make a great bloop when stripped and hopefully I can get a few big green monsters with them. Anyway here's a couple of pics for you and I hope this helps you out. Good luck.Cheers Darren Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'll be using Fatboys for chucking into the snags on a slow sink. I'll see if I can get a picture of them for you to look at tonight.Cheers Darren Quote Link to post Share on other sites
