{{+1}}Foam back prawn{{-1}}
{{start}}
This fly is a floating version of my PET prawn fly and can be a real game changer and so much fun when estuary species, particularly bream and whiting, are feeding on the surface.{{end}}

{{+1}}Slow roller{{-1}}
{{start}}
I fish these lightly weighted "slow rollers" on an intermediate or fast sink lines and a 30lb Maxima Ultra Green leader of about rod length. If you can see fish holding amongst timber put in a good cast beyond the timber and then count your line down and then work repetitive slow roly poly retrieves through the area.{{end}}

{{+1}}Candy – pelagic{{-1}}
{{start}}
Matching the hatch is the key to catching pelagics such as queenfish, tuna, Australian salmon and herring on fly. These unweighted flies are like candy to pelagic fish because they closely match the form and function of a lot of naturals they are targeting. In smaller sizes, particularly in pink, they are a handy fly for targeting flathead and bream in estuary waters.{{end}}

{{+1}}Chatto’s articulated slow roller{{-1}}
{{start}}
This is a variation of my very successful articulated swimmer and is my alternative goto fly when targeting barra in the relatively static water of Lake Awoonga and other barra impoundments. It can be fished on any line but my preference is a clear intermediate line. Retrieved with a slow roly poly or a long draw the fly has a nice shoulder role from side to side.{{end}}
