Fly lines for chasing mullloway @ narrows

Post by Stephen Winsor » Tue Nov 13, 2012 11:27 pm

Hey guys
Gonna spend this summer chasing mullloway at the narrows but I'm having a few problems deciding on my fly line preference..
I'm going to use a 10wt at stage maybe a 9wt.. Ideally I want something with a shooting head to help deliver a largely dressed flashy profile fly.. A 3/o most of the time with heavy eyes.. I figure the mullloway won't be sitting at the bottom, but more mid table / a meter off the bottom.. So I was thinking a full intermediate line with a fairly long Fluorocarbon leader set up.. So far I've considered a rio outbound as you only need 1 back cast and it shoots a country mile.. But then I thought you guys might know a lot more about it.. The streamer express 350 grain with a clear tip also cast a country mile with heavy flies.. Buts it's a fast sinking tip with an inter running line.. Do I have any other options?

Cheers guys

decided to give the Rio Outbound cold water a run.. 120foot line 10WF F/S with a 1.5 - 2 ips sink rate! casts like a dream for the type of fishing im doing!

Go pester Rohan at Bluewater Melville, or Chris at Flyworld. They've both been highly successful in targeting mulloway in the Swan. They'll put you on the right track.
