[Ol' slab sides]

Yeah I like natural colours with my lures so I'll give 'em a go with the flies...

this is my bunny that i use on the Swan River in Perth.
little bream bombshell i tell ya;)
It rides upside down and is similar to the USD fly.
cheers:cool:

[Ol' slab sides]

I like the different colour tail under the wing...Might try that Wandy...Ya mind?
Do you tie ya eyes opposite to get it to swim USD?


Slab

[wandtheswan]

Nah no worries just dont catch too many bream with it lol
Merri Minnow is the fly i firstly wanted to make then i added a tail and materials slightly.
i tied the eyes with 3-d eyes though Machined eyes work fine also.
any other patterns that you got Slab?

WORKS!!

[Ol' slab sides]

Thanks M8
Heard alot of guys talk about them but never seen one...Geez their minimal...can see why they work!!! Great attractor


Slab

[getchoo]

can anyone actually tell me what they use for the wing material in the meldrum clouser?
I've got all sorts of flashy materials, but they seem to tangle after a few casts....
and they dont seem to have that glow under the narrows either....

I used Sparkleflash supposed to be non matting, haven't give them a go yet...

[getchoo]

ive got that very same sparkleflash, but it doesnt seem to have ths ame property of some of the meldrum clouser wing materials ive seen around the narrows late at night ...

but trying to find out the material?? Geez some people are defensive....

[wandtheswan]

Sparkleflash, gliss and glow, mirrorflash.
some of the meldrums are tied with other materials though if it's flashy it will work .

Alex,
I may get beaten up for this, but if you want that "glow" thing happening (if you've seen it you'll know what I mean) then you want to get some Flashabou, it is the DohDohDohDoh :D Microflash, Mirrorflash, Sparkleflash etc all work, but Flashabou is the business in that area.
Good luck finding some hehe ;)

[wandtheswan]

Thankfully i have it then :D

[Duncan M]

Yeah, it's availability around these parts seems to fluctuate a bit, I'm pretty sure I have a reliable source for it now, I hope so anyway!

Duncan

[wandtheswan]

Have you been getting many bream lately Duncan?
i really need to go fishing again.
i havent been in ages
:mad:

[Duncan M]

Wandy,
Yeah I've been going ok. Didn't fish this weekend (needed sleep!) and last trip before that was a skunking (doh), but before that I picked up 17 bream to a kilo plus a flattie and some randoms in a couple of hours shorebashing, trip before that I managed 12, before that I think I got 6 or so?? Can't recall exactly, been a bit busy the last week so hopefully this week I'll get a fish in.
Haven't chucked flies in a fair while, something Cole gives me a fair bit of stick about:D Going up north in 6 weeks, so I'll be chucking flies between now and then to get some practice in. Looking forward to it!!!!!

Duncan

[wandtheswan]

sounds good mate
hopefully youll pick up some good fish:D

[getchoo]

cheers duncan

Is flashabou a behind-the-counter, in the storeroom sort of deal now is it?

I've decided to chase mulloway this winter on fly.
I think i've built up the courage to go out at all times of night in the freezing cold waving a wand around to score a fish every 20 or so trips.....

then again, this house is quite warm, and there's a kettle and tea... and a television.....

hrmmmmm
