Nice catch.

Tony, go and have a look in a spotlight store. That's where I get alot of my tying materials.Cheers, Dave.

Does anyone have any idea where the venue is and when it is happening?Cheers, Dave.

Hi Mick good to see you out fishing again. I wish I could get up the lake and have a crack at them. I might stay up that way for a holiday for a weekend and try for them on a warm night. If I fish near the bridges where there's lights I can try some dry flies because that's when the flying ants come out and land on the water. Hopefully I can arrange it in the next few weeks and post a report.PS. I would be happy with any size fish at the moment.Cheers, Dave.

Hi Micky, you could also take your waders and try the beach for whiting and flathead.There are few man made lakes there to try as well.Cheers, Dave.

Take the rod to a decent tackle shop that deals with fly gear and they should be able to tell you what line would be best for it.Cheers, Dave.

Hope you feel better soon Micky. Is that due to diabetes? , it isn't a very nice thing to have. I have type 2 which is luckily under control with diet and exercise.On with the fishing, went out yesterday afternoon and there where people everywhere. Tried a little beach south of the marina at Snowden's. I waded out and tried the surface popper, nothing, so I tried a green fly with a bit of tinsel and after 15 minutes had a bite that I should of hooked. My mate Darren had more luck bait fishing with 3 trumpeters a bream and a blue crab. After that ships started moving through and the waves

Well done Micky, good to hear you're feeling better.PS: you should try for some salmon trout, they're meant to be everywhere in the Port River at the moment. I plan to try my luck some time this weekend.Cheers, Dave.

That's better, looks like it was a nice day. What was the fishing like on the fly? get many takes?Cheers, Dave.

Where's the pic?Cheers, Dave.

Soon you'll have to change your username to the 'Popper King'. Well done once again Micky.Cheers, Dave.

Well done Micky and happy birthday.Cheers, Dave.

Well done Micky, nice to see they are getting bigger.Cheers, Dave.

Tonyb, here is a pic of the green drake mayfly. It's very similar to the pic you have posted and both are of the mayfly family. A green drake or blue dun pattern (winged variety) in the colour you need should do the trick.cheers, Dave.
