Fly Notes Got this fly from Issue 47,1999, Winter, Freshwater Fishing, p158, Adam Royter ( a very innovative tier if this pattern is anything to go by) Caught myself a few Golden Perch and bass since then on this fly. A real lure fly, a pure attractor pattern. Tie it any of the colours of your favourite plastic lure and go cast it in the local stocked dam.
Fishing Notes A fast sinking line the best approach. Get fly to bottom and flick along with pauses between strips. Untill ready to cast again. Target species include, Bass, Golden Perch, Murray Cod, Mulloway
Location Notes Underwater structure like cliff faces, boulders, hillsides and other holding points in impoundments.
Prey Notes A pure attractor pattern though could be taken for a baitfish.
