Qantas colours of red or orange over white are very popular hard body lure colours in Queensland and equally successful for flies.

This is second to only wild olive over shrimp as my favorite ‘all rounder’ colour for many flies that I use in Queensland.

In the smaller sizes it's great for estuary and coastal species such as bream, flathead and whiting. Moving up to #2/0 sizes and you have smaller pelagics, drummer, fingermark and jacks covered and in the #3/0 and #4/0 sizes you ready to target big pelagics including tuna, queenies, mackerel and GT's.

Materials

The only colour combinations I tie this fly in are:

Natural- olive over shrimp
Guns & roses - red over chartreuse
Brown Bomber - black over bronze back & orange
Pink - pink over pink and/or white

Process for tying this fly is set out here.
