    Been a real long time since I fished the Onk, but the pumpkin seed 3” minnows always got smashed for me back then as far as plastics go. Never had consistent luck with others.

      I learnt a long time ago fly fishing West lakes you just go and go and go . Sorry took me months to catch anything on a Salt water fly 

      The Pat used to be good it's gotten harder . Plastics were working when I changed from hard bodies this year has been hard I decided to go back to hard bodies . Plastics in the Pat had to be some green colour or clear for me . I ended up using Zman Slim swims after the grubs basically with the Slim swims less like a plastic more like a hard body if that helps .

      Have a good one .

      I’m closer to the port these days and I’m only just starting up again. Been a lot of years. Having mixed result but having fun.

      Fun is the best thing .

      I used to live between the port and outer Harbour . Alot of the places I fished might not be there any more. I still remember fun catching KG Whitting in there .

    I've tried a number of boa's as well as fascinater feathers but find the feather quality particularily bad. Beats the hell out of paying for the purpose selected feathers though.

    All of Oliver Edwards' DVD's are really good, tips as well as instrucions on how to tie the flies. Just got to actually catch something now. Have seen Mel Kreiger's DVD and also have a casting DVD by Joan Wulf, but have to admit I haven't watched the later yet

    :icon_evil:The Dreaded Birds Nest :icon_evil: :icon_e_biggrin:Found a really cool method of tackling these. It's probably as old as the hills but it's new to me.Put the reel in free spool and draw out the line until it grabs. You now place your thumb fairly firmly on the line on the spool then wind the reel a 1/4 to 1/2 a turn. Put the reel back in free spool and draw the line out again. If it doesn't work the first time, just keep trying until it does, it may take a whole lot of repeating but amazingly it does work. Hopefully none of you will have to try it much.
