Well done,It was going to be my guess that the reel is left handed. But then again I'm right handed and have my reel set up for a left hand. I set it up this was because your always false casting and I do that with my right so instead of swapping hand I now just reel with my left. Feels natural with the fly rod but can’t do it with the spinning gear.Goldy

i dont' care if its real or not... that was funny as!

I dont know what pattern your trying to tie but what about bending the hook (half way down the shank). like the bend back pattern, I think that is why they do it (to make it weedless with point up)

use an old pillow case

all depneds on where Darren

G'day Mate, Go see Simon in Fishermans Parradise. they have a fair bit of stuff, I'm not to sure when Darren last went in there but since I have been going there its only been getting bigger and if they dont have is simon will order in and normaly has it within the week. Also I have ordered things from Flyworld and it has taken over 6 weeks to get a few rolls of thread.Cheers Dale

I found this a long time ago. Its from the Orvis website.http://www.orvis.com/intro.aspx?subject=2107There is a good chart for fly line Wt Vs. Fly Hook Size.I can work out how to copy the chart.Cheers Goldy

In the Torrens a mate and I just throw in some bread to get them feeding on the surface. Wait a few minutes, then sight fish for them with a BMS.Cheers Goldy

Only when their aim is good I hope :whistle:I was watching a video the other day and the bloke said a sharp racing axe will go straight throghsteel caps... i was shaving the hairs from my arms with my new one last night.Goldy

Most competitve wood choppers wear them.

Cheers Mate

Tonka, You will need to give me the recipe to those worm flys they look great.Cheers Goldy

One thing that does bother me is that alot of the post i'm reading on here in relation to saltwater fishing is about the cost of owning a boat so you shouldn't need to pay anymore... Well whoever said you had to buy a boat. that was your choice and it wasn't forced apon you so why should it stop you from helping to improve the fishery??? (when i say fishery i mean salt and fresh, if it is only fresh seeing the benifit then only fresh pay for it). you can fish saltwater from the shore if you want, with a lot more limited success but people do it.Goldy

You may as well go buy your fish anyway, with the price of tackle/bait/fuel its cheaper. I dont know anyone who fishes for a cheap feed, because it isn't.And who said you cant stock salt water. i know its only bream but i think Dan from "CRANKA" (where ever he has gone) have been involved with stocking bream in TAZ. they bread kingfish and tuna in cages for food.... why cant we raise some for releaseing?Cheers Goldy

Thats a broad statement that is untrue... He maybe out of step with you. but i agree with Tony and will march to the beat anyday.Goldy

Well if its so good GO back dont come here and try to change us :angry: I'm not trying to change anyone mate, I was born and raised in Adeladie. so champ i'm not going anywhere. your stuck with me.

just so you guys know... i have live in NSW and VIC and i loved the fishing. maybe some of you people should open your eyes and not be stuck in the past because times change.Goldy

But Tony, I will stir the pot. I'm with you !!!!THE SOONER WE HAVE AN RFL THE BETTER WE WILL BE, BRING IT ON!!!!Goldy

I seen the same thing on Escape with ET on the weekend. And it wasn't we pulled in as much as the AFL (profit) it was the sector spent nearly as much. there is a big diffrence.Goldy

Ok cool, That gives me somewhere i can have a play. Thanks for the info guys.Goldy

G'day guys and girls...I've moved out to Angle Vale in july last year and i'm a little lost with local places to go fishing. Any help you could give would be great. I not into bait, just lure and fly.Cheers Goldy

Spotters a top sunnies. I cant remember my frames but i got the blue glass.they are the best for cutting glare but if you want to see fish in the water you need to get the penetrator glass.Cheers Goldy
