Hi All, just curious to know if anyone has fly fished off the north or south mole?
Have only started fly fishing several months ago and am curious to try some differant locations around perth...

Hi Lachie

I have fished the North Mole before and had some success with Tailor and Herring.
It can be very hard to fish from at times with all the people around and your back cast restricted by the big rocks.
A decent pair of shoes are needed to climb the rocks.

The Rio Outbound Short line will come in handy when your back cast is restricted. http://www.rioproducts.com/fly-lines/sa ... und-short/

Cheers Andre, im pretty keen to give it a crack
Any suggestions on flies to use there?

Poppers and Gurgler flies (white, red and white, blue and white)
Clousers and Deceivers (white, olive over white, yellow over white)

Weed flies chasing buff bream would also be a good target. Don't have to cast far for them and they go like mack trucks.

Righto, cheers for the info guys... Might give it a shot!

Havr crack around the disabled fishing platform & over near the Cray factory . Both are the easiest places for a backcast.

Hi Mat, Where abouts are those places you mentioned? fremantle?

Hi Tony, How would you go about using a weed fly? Weed doesnt move like a baitfish, so i imagine a weed fly wouldnt need much moving either... So how do you get it to look natural in the water?

Pretty much fish the fly dead drift. Cast out, let fly sink, keep in contact with fly. You want a fly that sinks at the same rate that your weed burley is sinking at.
