projoe 261 Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 our fly sessions in the past on the torrens consisted of a good old berley up with some bread & then casting in a bread fly amongst the white stuff only problem with that was hooking up on the odd duck that would get in the way. we did try a few patterns of trout flys the red & black matuka worked back slowly took a few carp also a white minnow pattern i devised worked well. my black & red carp special had a good following for a few years but havent tyed any for a while now, must get back to the fly tying bench soon!!

robfish 0 Posted November 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 so bread flies right. do u know if there are still many carp hanging around in there? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
johnwalkley 24 Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 i just walk the banks of the torrens anywhwere from athelstone to walkervile with polaroids on and spot a carp near the surface and drop an un weighted wooly bugger variant 10cm in front of their nose and they take it 90% of the time unless you spook them. there are allot of carp in the torrens, faiding them on/ near the surface can be hard. but summer is good for that.
