At different times of the year schools of tuna move into our coastal waters following monstrous schools of bait-fish of different sizes. The trick with GT’s is to match the form and function of the bait fish they are targeting with accurate casts and fast movements of the fly.

{{+1}}Candy – hardyhead{{-1}}
{{start}}
Even for pelagics such as tuna, mackerel, queenfish & trevally matching the hatch is often critical to success. This fly is my version of a hardy head which is one of the baitfish that particularly tuna and queenfish target in Central Queensland but because of its form and function it's also a good representation of some other small baitfish that these hunters target.{{end}}

{{+1}}Clouser – synthetic MKII{{-1}}
{{start}}
This is my favourite version of the clouser for use when targeting fish holding deep and is tied with H2O slinky fibre which makes the fly present as slightly translucent.{{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}}Clouser minnow{{-1}}

The Clouser in my view is the quintessential salt water fly. It can be tied in sizes to suit Bream or Billfish and with the correct dressing and size is equally at home in saltwater, trout and bass fisheries.{{end}}
