Saltwater Flyrodders

Hi Birchie. The old premises is now a cafe (the Rowing Pavillion). The meeting is right next door in the Swan River Rowing Club.

Good to hear from you Jon! Might have to drop in

What’s that liquid on the ground in the first pic Brett - is that all water?

Nice work Torren - quality fish!

The only time I have got an eat when the fish has definitely seen the boat is when they have been teased with a hookless popper. Have had them eat 10 feet from the boat in this scenario.

I reckon big ones on flats are harder than Permit

Thanks Simon. I tend not to use really big flies, so that might be an issue for me.

Sounds like even with big flies they either smash it straight away or don’t eat?

Thinking about good GTs on the flats, specifically enticing a strike. Just wondering how many people have had one follow the fly for any length of time and still had the fish eat? I’m talking about fish of say 10kg plus - not small ones. I haven’t hooked nearly enough big GTs, but all of the ones I ...

Thanks Birchy - an interesting read.

I might give these guys a call www.deckarmour.com.au Could be a bit of sticker shock coming I suspect

Birchy, are these the guys you saw at the boat show?

The main thing is I want it to look good, and suspect I won't be happy with it if I cut it.

I’m thinking of installing SeaDek on the casting decks in my boat. Does any one know anybody local (Perth) that does this professionally (custom fitting)?

Anybody have any experience with creating custom templates yourself and getting it cut interstate/overseas?

Cheers, Dave.
