{{+1}}Duracell jig nymph{{-1}}
{{start}}
I was attracted to this fly because it is made of two of my favourite fly tying materials UV Ice dubbing and CDC. It has looked like a winner since I first saw this fly and it has not let me down. Designed by, as I understand it, Craig McDonald it is a very popular fly in Europe and fast developing a following in Australia and New Zealand.{{end}}

{{+1}}Tidal flats shrimp – orange and brown{{-1}}
{{start}}
This orange and brown size #2 hook version of my tidal flats shrimp is my first choice of fly when targeting feeding trigger fish. It stands out in the storm of mud and other debris that trigger fish stir up as they forage around for food.{{end}}
{{+1}}Black rubber tail fly{{-1}}
{{start}}
This fly has turned out to be a fantastic point fly for bass in Lake Maroon. I have fished it for two years in a row in the Variety Club competition with a MKII olive or black woolly bugger on a dropper and achieved two podium finishes.{{end}}

{{+1}}Fly lines that I use – #8 weight (estuary, bass, saratoga & perch){{-1}}

I have settled on #8 outfits and the following fly lines for when I target estuary species such as bream, flathead, mangrove jack and small trevally and queenfish, as my preferred outfits for bass, saratoga and various perch and as my go to outfits for when I fish to bonefish.{{end}}
{{+1}}“Mal de mer”, “sea sickness”, “motion sickness”{{-1}}
{{start}}
This is my approach to Mal de mer, sea sickness, motion sickness or whatever you want to call it. It is a terrible affliction and can spoil what may well have been a great fun day.{{end}}
