{{+1}}Yakamito Devil Edge 60{{-1}}
{{start}}
This a really neat small diving lure that dives down as much as 3 meters.
I particularly like it because it’s a floating lure and if you feel your line or leader touch timber and immediately pause the retrieve the lure rises quick enough it to risen above the timber by the time you restart your retrieve . If it does hook up on timber a soft approach is best and the lure will often release it the line is repeatedly jiggled or flicked to release the snagged hook from the timber.
For bass my favorite colour is P01653 Pinky. This colour has a purple hue which bass love. There is a second colour from the range that I also think will be a winner and that's a translucent barred gold. I am pretty sure that will be great for bass and bream.

{{+1}}Articulated bugger{{-1}}
{{start}}
It doesn't matter which of the larger CQ species your fishing for ... at 13cm long and with a great swimming action more often than not my articulated bugger in Qantas colours is my goto fly.{{end}}
{{+1}}Stillwaters – #8 weight gear & set ups / bass, saratoga and perch{{-1}}
{{start}}
I am lucky in that I often find myself having the opportunity of fishing my #8 weight fly outfits to either in east coat estuary waters or inland native species waters. Along the coast and in estuaries I target bream, flathead, whiting, tarpon and small pelagics on my #8 weight outfits.{{end}}

{{+1}}Chatto’s fizzer{{-1}}
{{start}}
This fly swims well and the propeller at the front adds an element of action that fish find enticing. You can tie this fly in any colour combination to mimic the colour of some of the more popular lure colours that your mates that fish the "dark side" use so successfully.{{end}}
{{+1}}Lake Maroon – great idea{{-1}}
{{start}}
Thanks about your email looking for information on Lake Maroon. I love Maroon and have had a couple of podium finishes there in Fly Fish Australia competitions. I am not aware of any guides that fish the Lake Maroon area so I cant help you there but I have set out a little information on my web site that may help with your expedition there.{{end}}
{{+1}}Articulated slow roller – size #1 to #1/0{{-1}}
{{start}}
I tie these downsized version of my original articulated slow roller fly in sizes #1 and 1/0 sizes and fish them on my #8 weight fly rods with 20lb Maxima Ultra Green leaders. They are an absolute treat for native bass and all sorts of estuary and coastal species including bream, flathead, and mangrove jack and smaller pelagics including trevally and queenfish.{{end}}

{{+1}}Cania Dam{{-1}}
{{start}}
Cania Dam has been on my bucket list now for a couple of years and consequently I have been undertaking quite a lot of research so that when I do get up there hopefully this year I have enough information to make a reasonable job of that fishing trip. This is what I have found so far.{{end}}
{{+1}}Foam cicada – Chatto’s ‘black prince’{{-1}}
{{start}}
This fly sits well into the surface film like the natural and has a very realistic profile when viewed from below. I have made it smaller than the natural on purpose as flies tied as big as the natural are frustratingly cumbersome to cast on #8 weight outfits that are my preference of the target species mentioned above. The fly lands with a good audible fish attracting 'plop' and with its outstretched wings that are only about half as long as the natural still wiggle with the slightest movement in a very enticing way.{{end}}
{{+1}}Floating red claw{{-1}}
{{start}}
This fly is a variation to my original yabby pattern and has been designed to be fish on a sinking line. I like to fish them, in water from 1 to 4 meters deep, either as a single fly or in a team of two flies as a point fly. If fishing them in a team I like the dropper with the second fly to be 25cm long and 1.2 meters above the point fly.{{end}}
