Another good video, Solid explanations of your strategy too. I find it very informative and useful. Even though I haven’t quite developed my fly fishing skills yet. Just waiting for our Melbourne lockdown to finish and I’ll be picking up my fly rod and giving it a crack.
Saw you fishing that day. I was fishing off the rocks a bit further up. Caught a 45cm to 50cm Trev awesome fight that was. I think I caught the same flattie you caught. Was around the same size. Good spot to fish 🎣
Peachy Fly Fishing Not sure if you’re allowed to go further up river in your boat but the mangroves around Rydalmere hold big bream. Maybe you could give it a shot. Keep the awesome vids coming. 👌
Hey Steve... Thanks angina for sharing.. Great vid... I'm having some hols next month and I'm going to tie some of your stinger shrimps and give them a go... Sorry about the lure retriever.. We've all one it!😡😎🙄
@@PeachyFlyFishing love the bead chain you use too .. not shiny seems more subtle .. do you find that better .. or not a critical issue .. are you fishing the shrimp on a full floater .. fly heavy enough to get to the fish? Cheers Steve
@@saratoga1956 Yes I like the more dull coloured bead chain for this, it's not supposed to stand out as it's part of the tail, you want the shrimp eyes to stand out. Yeah I fish them on a floater with a long fluorocarbon leader, that works for water up to about 12-15 feet. Beyond that you would want some kind of sinking line. :)
Thats the one 👍 The Scott 806/3 Warm Water Special is another great option for fishing tight structure. (if ya can find one) Regret letting mine go 🤦♂️
Looking forward to your update on Euro Hanak 3wt with OPST commando smooth on trout water. Interested if you find you can fish upstream with it as well as swinging.
@@brucechappell1550 Should fish upstream fine I think, the SA Sonar tips work nicely with the commando heads and taper off to a finer point, so it should present the fly a bit more gently. :)
Great video, I particularly enjoyed the composer with the fly retriever
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! :)

Good stuff Jay! I highly recommend get a casting lesson or 2 at the start if you can. :)
Peachy Fly Fishing will definitely look at it. Guessing it is best not to learn bad habits from the start.
@@jaybarnett3550 Absolutely! It can save a lot of frustration and get you off to a positive start, that can make all the difference. :)

Good stuff! Yeah it's a productive area that's for sure. :)

@@chunglee763 thanks buddy will give it a go cheers
@@chunglee763 Thanks mate! Yeah I'm not sure if your allowed to go up past where Duck Creek comes in, have to do a bit of research on that! :)
@Chung Lee I just checked the latest RMS maps, upstream of Silverwater Bridge is closed to all recreational vessels. Bummer! ;)

I need to try more salt!
Give it a go! :)
Great vid thanks
Thanks mate!
Another great vid
Thanks David! :)
Did you manage to retrieve your lure retriever ???. I really enjoyed that session and the commentary.
No I didn't get it back! I tried but the water was too murky, couldn't see it! Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it! :)
Great vid! I like those sage bass rods. Are you using the 230 or 290?
Thanks! Yeah I like them too, I'm using the 230 (the Bluegill). :)

The seagulls were not happy with you
Haha! True, they were rather noisy! ;)
@@PeachyFlyFishing I am sure I heard them saying "mine, mine, mine"
