Bream Flies

[luringbrrream]

What are your ten most producing or popular flies for fishing the flats for bream and or flathead. Need help on what i should be looking for in flies and if someone could please send me some websites or links of online fly stores, it'd be great.

Dunno if you tie your own flies, but if you do, try and get some soft emu feathers.

Hook: 4

Eyes: 2 beadchain links at the head.

Tail: tips of a couple of emu feathers extending about 4mm out from the bend.

Palmer the soft emu feathers along the hook to the eye and the tie about 2 turns of pink hackle.

Fish it slow near nipper beds and hang on.

Hi Dan. For an online fly store, check out http://www.flyworld.com.au. Or http://www.alpineangler.com.au

For bream flies, my favorite is the bms or estuary bms in olive, black, or olive with pink tail. Also love small, very flashy green or pink clousers (you will have to tie these yourself - no one seems to sell them online). Regular bucktail clousers will also produce both flathead and bream. Try green/white or yellow white for starters.

Another bream fly worth looking at is the USD Merri Minnow from flyworld. It's tied with rabbit fur so has heaps of movement in the water.

Also, any small charlie or gotcha style pattern will work.

Chris at flyworld is obsessed with bream on fly so it would be worth ringing him (number on website) and having a chat as well.

Here's few pics of ones that work for me (taken from flyworld site)

I find in really clear stituations that neutral colours are best. I like the pattern known as the ascension bug
