These flies are a great standby for when big queenfish, GT’s and goldens, that are either hunting on sand flats or are attacking blue-water bait fish , shun more natural coloured offerings and yet get turned onto chartreuse coloured flies.
It doesn’t matter which of the larger CQ species your fishing for … at 13cm long and with a great swimming action more often than not my articulated bugger in Qantas colours is my goto fly.
This bigger pregnant prawn fly is one of my goto flies here in Central Queensland estuary waters. I often fish it when targeting barra, grunter, jacks and flathead in estuary and harbour waters but it’s not unusual to hook up on queenfish, travally or other fish that eat prawns.
This is a larger blue water version of my very successful ‘Flats minnow”. It’s a very fishy looking fly and has a little blood spot that adds to the appearance of the fly being a wounded fish.
This is a fly that I developed specifically for sight fishing on the flats to the likes of bream, flathead, bonefish and permit. It’s a very fishy looking fly and has a little blood spot that adds to the appearance of the fly being a wounded fish.
If your targeting Barramundi this is great prospecting fly for both fresh and salt tropical waters. It’s dressed in popular Qantas colours of red head and white body that is popular with so many barra type hard body and soft plastic type lures. With an overall length of a size from 9 cm to 15cm these are big flies for big fish so I suggest that you fish them on a #10 weight outfit.
