These flies have been developed mainly for those fish such as mangrove jack, javelin fish (AKA barred grunter) and fingermark targeted mainly in the tropical zone of QCentral Qld and further north.

{{+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}}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}}Candy – resin head minnow{{-1}}
{{start}}
This is a great fly to rip through the water in front of Tailor, Australian Salmon, Tarpon and any other fish that is a predator of small fish. The combination of the resin head and the body materials create a fly that is translucent and a very effective imitation of many small thin fish that that are targeted by bigger fish. This fly is much easier to tie than a candy and in my view a better fly overall.{{end}}
