Targeting bream on fly in Perth ?

[Hillster]

Just bought a second hand fly combo with the view to target bream in the Swan/Canning Rivers . Are any B/M members wanding in Perth?

[bender]

bream on fly....are you insane.....totally impossibly.....:eek:

[breamin_george]

Me and another BM member cranked the flyrods next to canning bridge and ended up with a flatty each, but yet to get a bream on fly, but havent really tried.

I'm currently in east freo (up from bunbury for a week+) and brought my flyrod up with me.
i'm keen to have a shot at bream on fly, so if ya wanna have a wave of the wand, just shoot me a pm and I'll join you on ya conquest.:D

[bender]

your sure to get some swan river brown trout...there are thousands in the river and they have green eyes...:D

[brimia]

Not impossible, I know a bloke who has caught them in the Yarra on fly. slow sinking green hairy flies and crab flies will get em supposedly.

[duffman]

yep done it alot is fun for awile , gets old tho , try causeway or where ever lots of water moving during winter;)

[Hillster]

bream on fly....are you insane.....totally impossibly.....:eek:

I think not..Chris from Flyworld in Bayswater has been getting bream in the Swan on fly for many years has even developed a fly specifically for it !
10 yrs or more if I remember correctly.

But as for being insane, yes that maybe true :eek::eek:

[Mattseah]

Can't help much with the Swan, but Bream on fly certainly aren't as hard as they're made out to be..

ah Bender your sense of humour is just not appreciated sometimes.

Mate, I reckon you are half way to being a full wit :)

[bender]

yes Craig but a little game play gets a thread really firing does it not...:p

and from 2000 to 2002 i never used a spin rod...it was a 5 weight fenwick

and pearl white flys the whole time...i was possessed ..:eek:..and caught loads of

bream and other species....its a great sport as you get to tie all your own flies


And im going for full twit...not just wit....:D

[Craig]

Bender

Half way to a full wit makes you a half wit :eek:

But I am sure you can make the grade as a twit - just don't get your "a"s mixed up with your "i"s cause that would make twit become tw_t.

[bender]

ha...this is the funniest i have ever known you to be....:D

that holiday seems to have gone down well...and as for the tw_t

well i have been called worse....i got called and eagles supporter once...:eek:

and i have also been accused of being from ..cough.. mel ..cough.. bourne...:p

ooooooo......this thread is going to ignite for sure now

apologies to the thread starter....i got it derailed slightly....:)

[kakaryan]

I use crazy charlie and some shrimp patterm mostly. What others you used to use?

Hi Bender, pearl white fly? Is it a bread fly or white glo bug? So you use it to mimic bread or? Do u also berley with bread like I see some guys flying milkfish? Thanks.:D

[Hillster]

Now I am intrigued ( spelling? ) any others with pics of fly caught bream ?

Those ones Matthew caught are fat ! Thumbs up Mat !!!

Hey Fender Bender wheres the pics mate ? Or did you eat the proof ?

[LongReach]

Nice one mattseah!!

I know of someone who ties flies for bream, not to imitate anything it particular, bream just really go for it.

I caught my first bream on fly this morning in the Coomera. Small white sinking fly with a flash of orange on it. I think that it could become addictive, I didn't expect to catch anything as I was just trying to learn how to cast properly. Great fun.

Dave

[Hillster]

Nice work Dave, Got a picture ?

[DHM77]

No mate I haven't. I was wading the flats with a bag over my shoulder, so just released him straight away. (one of the benefits of living in Qld - the water is still relatively warm) I am definitely going to give it another go though, if I get anything I will post up some pics.

Dave

Absolutely true, Chris is a bream fly master, and he has a few mates who also seem to do pretty well in the swan and canning on fly.
