Flathead Pattern II Fly Swap Summer time is flathead time, starting in Spring with the movement of the large breeders to early Autumn with lots of 40 - 50cm males abounding over most estuary systems. A fantastic species to begin your fly fishing on, also one that provides enough challenge to even the most experienced fly fisher. Sign up with you flathead pattern now.

Participants

The Tiers	Pattern	Comments
1. Richard Carter	White & Grey Benback	A simple but effective pattern, losts of movement and life on the retrieve that flathead cannot resist.
2. Robert Morger	Grey 3D Mullet	Was in the first swap. Have to be in this one.
3. Russell Marsh	Bent Head	It's not the right name but the fly is designed to ride head down tail up across the bottom to imitate a foraging bait fish.
4. Steve Cratchley	Clouser Minnow	A nice lightly dressed fly which flathead's find irresistable, but then so do most anglers.
5. Grant S.	Blue & white Deceiver	This is one of the first flys I ever bought and I like it I have changed it a lil bit but not too much ... a great lil fly!
6. David Quayle	Weedless Green Thing	No its not a Pink Thing variation. It is large, heavy & designed to get thru weed beds without fouling, whilst getting right in amongst the weed.
7. Greg Kearney	Prawn	My variation of the numerous prawn patterns.
8. Andrew White	Green Troll Fly	This is one of the only flies i have had success with on the flatties. I hope someone else has a bit more luck than me.
9. Darby Willcox	Flathead Food Item	This fly works well in South Coast Estuaries. It has caught Tailor as well as Flatties so an additional very light short wire trace can be added.
