Gladstone
There are many rivers and creeks surrounding Gladstone, as well as a couple of close by dams, many of which offer great fishing. Gladstone is a major Queensland city located approximately 550 kilometres by road north of Brisbane and 100 kilometres so...

Wet flies
A wet fly is a fly designed to be fished below the water's surface of the water or a dry fly that has been drowned and is being fish below the surface of the water and they fall into two main classes....

Ant – Chatto’s original Palmered ant
If it's a hot day, a warm balmy night, if water is rising over previously dry ground or almost any time for that matter you can get huge hatches of ants. They vary in colour but the dominant hatches are of black meat ants and banded sugar ants....

Shrek
This fly is out of left field as far as I am concerned and when first introduced to it had no great expectation of it finding its way into my fly box. I was wrong. The bright tinsel body certainly stands out and rather than spooking fish as I expecte...

Blae & black – Chatto’s soft hackle version
The Mallard & Claret was the first for me in this series. Whilst it has been tweaked at the edges a little this Mallard & Claret pattern remains remarkably similar to the original fly pattern that has its origins in England some 500 odd year...
