Top End Fly Swap Top End Fly Swap
The Holy Grail of most Australian anglers would be a trophy fish from The Top End. Threadfin salmon, Saratoga, Barramundi & Golden Snapper are just a few of the species available at places like Cape York, Kakadu, Corroboree Billabong or The Mighty Daly River. All of these species & places plus more attract these intrepid adventurers. Regardless of were you stay or how you get there, If you don't have the right flies, at least the scenery is good. Bull!. If there's water you gotta fish it, what fly would you tie on?

The Tiers Pattern Comments
1. Richard Carter Benbdback Siliclone Good large profile weedproof pattern, so no problem casting in amongst lillies, reeds & grass.
2. Danny Raven Pink Thing I'm new to Northern Flyfishing and keen to hear tips on how the various fly's in this swap should be fished.
3. Kevin McDonald Bushy's Bongo
4. Dean Hamilton Hammer Bigeye This fly has been used with great success on tropical species, everything from jacks to barra to queenies & the GT's off Fiji love them.
5. Peter Wignell Givens Black & Barred IMO a more productive barra fly than the pink thing, particularly if fish are feeding on small mullet. Tied the same as a Pink Thing only all black.
