Fly Notes This fly can be tied in many colour combinations as there are colours. Chartreuse and yellow, all pink, blues, greens, olive and brown to tan. This pattern has lots of suggestive movement and a good action on retrieval. Vary Eye size and type to change diving depth.
Fishing Notes Due to low light condition when the dark variant is used, I tend to minimise complexity of leader set-up to just a 1.5m - 2m length of 4 kilo trace material like Jinkai. Stop, start , stop, pause is standard retrieval method. Faster strips will work too but I like to get it in the strike zone longer if possible by the slower strips with pauses in between. Target species Bream, but trevally, flathead and other estuarine species will accept the offering.
Location Notes Typical bream haunts - oyster leases, rock outcrops, bridges, pylons.
Prey Notes Generalist pattern, but can be suggestive on standard retrieval method of prawns. On faster retrieves suggestion of baitfish.
