  1. Hey All…..Lets Talk Whiting..I live in South Australia and summer time is the time to chase YFW on our metro beaches i know they can be hard enough to catch with bait so i have set myself the task of landing a few on Fly.So when ever the weather is calm with no wind and waves I'm out there searching for schools of these fish in the shallows off the beach and wading.The other day i was walking along the beach and there was a big school and they were moving up and down the beach it was the biggest school i have seen and they were active which was good as i thought they are feeding…. I quickl

  8. G'day All......I was wondering what every ones favourite Redfin flies are?I have a few little redfin spots that i might try and flick a new 3WT that i am in the process of ordering...Want some practice in tight situations and some entertainment in-between chasing that illusive wild brown on fly gear in SA!My thoughts is i guess redfin are not really that fussy? i was thinking wooly buggers and leech patterns?would be great to get some feedback from some people with fly fishing SKILL!cheers TH
  9. shimano all the way with the light stuff.....your always going to need a 2500 and its the most used reel of most people's collection even if they don't want to admit it!CI 4 is an awesome reel! nothing better for the price in my opinion.I don't own a stella but your always gonna use a 2500, and if its your number 1 reel then why not!A mate and i had some fun recently at fowlers on the 2500 CI4 on some alb 6 7 8Lb salmon on plastics... big fish for small reel and its just awesome!!!
  10. That very neat and clean finish at the eye of the hooks just the thread covered in a glue?Looks amazing i can't get a finish like that on clousers i try and tie.Wish I could tie like that!!cheers!
  11. rainbows in a private creek...sounds bloody great!nice work
  12. nice one mate!what fly did you get him on?is this private water? loosing hope if there is wild water out there to land a rainbow on fly!
  13. Hey All..... Im after a smaller rod to tackle some smaller streams and rivers down south....I have a 6wt 9 foot but its just a little to big to get into tight spots and with all the over hanging trees its making it too hard.what would people recommend a 3 or 4? and something quite a bit shorter in like 7 foot range?One more question can i still cast a bead head wooly with a rod this light?(beginner if you hadn't noticed)cheers TH
  14. nice one! yeah got some stuff ordered can't wait to try and tie some patterns!
  15. man strike hook really is a wealth of information....thanks again guys!
  16. yeah Echosystm it is a frustrating game i must say......But i have only just started out and i would have to say the hardest part is just getting the right weather and the time to match up to get out there and give it ago...... For a first timer like me just to brake the ice i would target salmon trout...they hit almost anything and with plastics I've had good kilo salmon trout within a very easy flick of pt willing beach. Sometimes you can even get behind them and get herd them back to shore.I caught my salmon on a gold and white clouser minnow.Ive found everything to be much harder with a fl

  18. Hey all....I just got my first fly tying kit from E bay. So now i need to pick a few flies to tie and order the materials to tie them....one of those will be fishnuts prawn fly video that he so kindly posted.As you can imagine for a beginner there are a million bits and pieces out there, so i think i need to buy a book or something covering all the topics!Do i have to buy certain types of fly tying hooks or can i just go on down to bcf and pick out a few packs of hooks to which i fancy? (I'm guessing it goes on how heavy you would like the hook to be)Im going to start of trying small prawns, s
