Chatto’s estuary fly

by

This fly has now accounted for bream, flathead, whiting, trevally, mullet, tailor, flounder, bass and trout. I expect it will be attractive to many other species also. Native fresh water Bass are a favourite of mine and if I could only carry one type of sinking fly to target then with the Black Estuary/Bass fly would be it.

Lead head nymph

by

This is a very effective fly for fast water because it sinks fast and the placement of the lead shot gives the fly a propensity to ride point up reducing the propensity of snagging. It can be used on its own just to bounce along the bottom or to sink a second fly such as a an egg fly or unweighted nymph.
