The colours of baitfish, prawns, shrimp, crabs etc are all good choices for flies that are imitating those naturals. Flies of the same colours of the naturals are my first choice for daytime fishing in any water where translucent flies may be hard to see or where marabou is an important element of the fly.

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}}

A great fly for barra and mangrove jack ... put a good cast into the target area and to allow the fly to settle for a few seconds before doing tiny twitches of the rod tip to cause some rings on the surface suggesting it's a natural struggling and then if that doesn't induce a strike to commence either a slow roly poly retrieve, or a series of stop start strips, back to the boat or bank. Whatever the retrieve the occasional pause followed by some twitches of the rod tip area good idea.{{end}}

By varying the materials used, the colours and size I have accounted for trout, bream, flathead, mangrove jack and even barramundi on wiggle minnows. The recipe I have set out below is just one version of this very adaptable fly and I would encourage you to individualize the fly to your own requirements.{{end}}
