Guns and Roses coloured of red over chartreuse are very popular hard body and soft plastic lure colours in Queensland and work equally well for flies particularly in low visibility water.{{end}}

{{+1}}Chatto’s minnow – Qantas colours{{-1}}
{{start}}
This is my favorite ‘all rounder’ colour for many flies that I use in Queensland and works in both fresh and salt water, day or night.{{end}}
{{+1}}Mutant clouser – natural{{-1}}
{{start}}
if I could only carry one colour mutant clouser that would be olive over UV shrimp. That one colour tied in a range of sizes covers a big cross section of fish that I target in Central Queensland.{{end}}
{{+1}}Articulated slow roller – Qantas colours{{-1}}
{{start}}
Depending on the water depth this fly can be fished on a floating or fast sink lines but my preference is to stick with a clear intermediate line with a rod length leader and a slow twitchy retrieve with various length pauses.{{end}}

{{+1}}Articulated swimmer – Chartreuse{{-1}}
{{start}}
These flies are a great standby for when big queenfish, GT's and goldens, that are either hunting on sand flats or are attacking blue-water bait fish , shun more natural coloured offerings and yet get turned onto chartreuse coloured flies.{{end}}

{{start}}
Fly colours rules of thumb: For bright days bright colours, dark days dark colours, clear water translucent flies in natural colours, dirty water solid colours and match the hatch when possible.{{end}}

{{+1}}Pregnant prawn – size #3/0 10 cm long with rubber legs{{-1}}
{{start}}
This is the biggest pregnant prawn fly that I tie and is one of my goto flies here in Central Queensland when targeting barramundi in estuary and harbor waters. It's not unusual to hook up on queenfish, travally, flathead or other species that eat prawns.{{end}}
{{+1}}TBH Dross nymph variant{{-1}}
{{start}}
In 2018 I was introduced a fly called a Droz nymph that had skipped my attention even though it has been used for several seasons with great success in Tasmania, Victoria and even NSW. It's now one of the first river flies that I tie on.{{end}}
{{+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}}
