australia day flick yes surface popping again!!

[Mickyj]

Well I got this PM on a fishing site from someone who wanted to learn to SWFF.They said they'd meet me at a certain beach by 7.30am.I got there at 7 fished until 8.Only a lure fishing mate turned up including the fish being a no show.
So I drove to the other side of the lake .My mate said the wind would be in my face and it was .So I walked past the bait fishers to the other end of the beach and before the next bait fisher .Waded out and the wind was at my back well almost.
Just before 9am this little 20cm Bream grabbed my fly.At one stage I thought she was a bit bigger the fight she put up was great for her size.
Sorry the best of the bad pictures I took of this fish

So I released that 20cm fish and a couple of casts .Well ok a bad cast latter and this tiny bream grabbed the fly .

Same fish with a mouthful of fly

So once again I released the fish and casting away .This is when I really needed someone shooting a video .I'll do my best to describe this 21cm fish .She jumped about 20-30cm away from the fly straight up in the air and then across and landed on top of the fly .took my surface popper and ran.She'll wasn't going anywhere except on the bank for a picture or two!!

And the bad fly picture

One more as she was my biggest fish of the day


And that was my Australia day flick.By then I was back to the bait fishers .
Cheers
Mick

Some great fish there!!
I'm a keen fly fisher but haven't really targeted bream on a fly before.
Would you maybe be able to send me a PM of the kinds of flies that you have found that work on bream. Pics of the flies would be great.
Again, very nice fish!!

Well there's this topic I posted when I joined up these flies would be a variatuon on a surf candy

And today they fell to a variation of morsies whiting popper .MMM thats all I use lately is popper flies .Should I change my name to popper J

Still I am trying to get to that 30cm mark then 40cm mark

Should add I go outside the box with my flies
Perhaps google Bream Flies and see the more conventional flies that fly fishers use.
