Author: {{+1}}How do I check if I have an automatic payment in place for my Fish on Fly membership renewal?{{-1}}
{{start}}
- Open the PayPal account where the recurring payment was coming from.
- Enter your PayPal user name and password.
- Check if you really did have a recurring payment in place to pay your membership renewal.
- In the search box at the top right hand side of the page type “pre-approved payments” – this will give you a link to your pre-approved payments list – click the link to open the pre-approved payments list.
- Check and see if there is a pre approved payment in the list ... if there is not then the pre-approved payment to Fish in Fly was either not set up or more likely was cancelled by you at some stage.
- If it is in the list and your PayPal credit card number and other details are still current contact PayPal and ask why it was not paid.
- The most common reason is:
- That users have not updated their details with PayPal when they have changed credit cards or other details.
- They have or had insufficient funds available when the automatic payment date came around.

{{+1}}Articulated swimmer – Qantas colours with rattle{{-1}}
{{start}}
If your targeting Barramundi this is great prospecting fly for both fresh and salt tropical waters. It's dressed in popular Qantas colours of red head and white body that is popular with so many barra type hard body and soft plastic type lures. With an overall length of a size from 9 cm to 15cm these are big flies for big fish so I suggest that you fish them on a #10 weight outfit.{{end}}

{{+1}}Zonker yabby / crayfish{{-1}}
{{start}}
Over the years I have experimented with various Yabby Patterns and whilst some have looked great unfortunately they have all been “dogs” to fish or more correctly to cast. Generally rather than using them I have reverted to fishing a weighted woolly bugger instead. Well all that has now changed and I now have a Yabby in my fly box that I have confidence in.{{end}}
{{+1}}#6 weight fly rods{{-1}}
{{start}}
A long time ago I decided that #6 weight fly rods were the right weight of fly rod for still water fishing for trout. Since then i have used #6 weight fly rods in many trout fisheries overseas and in Australia and have never for a minute considered changing to a different rod class.{{end}}
{{+1}}That ship has sailed !{{-1}}
{{start}}
Over the last 48 hours you may have seen quite a lot of activity on http://www.fishonfly.com.au.
I just wanted to bring you up to date and let you know that www.troutflies.com.au has been WITHOUT CONSENT using our site as a source of fly information. This was brought to our attention when wording from several of our fly recipes was found on their web site against flies that they have listed for sale. I know that copying is regarded as the ultimate complement but in this case the photos of the flies that they are actually selling are, in our assessment, inferior to the flies as shown and described on www.fishonfly.com.au
I wrote to them saying “I was disappointed to be advised that you have a direct rip off of a fly on my website for sale on troutflies.com.au and respectfully request that you withdraw that fly from your web site as the information you are using is: Copyright © fishonfly.com.au 2014 - All rights reserved.
The response from Michael Tenner was “Sorry about this a member of my staff did the copy without telling me exactly the source I have amended the copy”.
This was not the response I had asked for.
As is so often the case the actions of a few (in this case just one www.troutflies.com.au) effect ‘the many’ and in this case their action and response has led us to re-assess the availability of fly recipes on the web site to non members. Consequently, the activity you have seen on http://www.fishonfly.com.au over the last 48 hours has been steps we have taken to protect our intellectual property by making all fly recipes (except for around 12% of recipes for relatively standard flies) only available to members.
If you are a member of the action we have taken will not impact in any way on your access to the full content of our web site. If you are not a member, unfortunately, the actions we have taken does restrict the free access to the web site content to only around 12% of the web site fly recipe content whereas previously free access was maintained at between 40% to 45% of the web site fly recipe content. If that does effect you don't forget that you can join http://www.fishonfly.com.au and then access all the content of the web site for as little $1 for a full week.
I’ll keep you posted of any further developments in this matter.

Salt water flies are flies that have been designed specifically for use in salt water to catch fish that live full time or part of their life cycle in salt water environments.
Wet flies.
By far the majority of salt water flies have been designed to be fished sub surface.
Blue water flies
Estuary flies
Specifically designed for use in estuarine environments these are just a very small random sample of flies specifically designed to be fish in river mouths, saline lakes and lagoons, sand flats and other estuary type environments.
Salt water dry flies
Designed to be fished on the surface
There are much fewer flies designed to be fished on the surface in salt water environment and these are just a couple of the key ones.

Bass and native fish flies are are flies that have been designed specifically for use fresh water environments to catch bass and other native fish that spend a large part of their life cycle in brackish or fresh water.
Dry flies.
Particularly for bass and saratoga a lot of attention has been focused on dry or surface flies undoubtedly because both species much sort after because of the voracious surface feeding attacks.
Wet flies
In the case of bass and saratoga fishing with wet flies is much less popular than the visual appeal of surface fishing whereas for other species such as silver perch, yellowbelly and cod it is mostly about wet flies.

{{+1}}Double eyed, soft hackle dog nobbler{{-1}}
{{start}}
At the same time the woolly bugger was evolving in the US in England a similar fly that became known as a dog nobbler was also evolving. Dog nobbler flies were heavily weighted for use in deeper water, were generally not palmered with a hackle and often were tied with bead chain eyes.{{end}}
