{{+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}}

{{start}}
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}}Black spinner{{-1}}
{{start}}
The term spinner is generally used only in the context of referring to a small number of Mayflies including Black, Red and Orange Spinners when they are both on the water and in the air. The following Spinner is a generic representation for members of the “Leptophlebiidae” family of Mayflies and the various Highland Duns & Spinners, which are members of the “Oniscigastridae” family. Hatches generally occurs between the months of October and March.{{end}}

{{+1}}Chatto’s black alpine buzzer{{-1}}
{{start}}
This is the second in the series of three versions of the same fly. This first in the series is the bloodworm version. which is the original colour of the pupa as it emerges from the slime on the lake bottom. Over a short period of time the bloodworm changes to a dark colour with varying amounts of red present as the transformation occurs. As it reaches the surface the dark colour mellows and the pupa assumes a grey or olive colour similar to its terrestrial colour.{{end}}
