Redfish Candy!

Post by John »

Got these Flies from Brad of Wade on the Fly, great ties hopefully I'll be persuading some reds to eat them pretty soon.

Brad tied these to order for me, $50 for the dozen all are of superb quality and proven flies for the local fish, Brad's a great gus if anyone is looking for some flies he's your man.

I ordered these and he had them tied up and ready for collection the next day.

you can contact him via his email [email protected]

I will keep you posted on any successes i may have with them.

I really like that Black over Gold EP minnow. They all look like great flies though.

Last night was my first chance to get out and try the flies, I started out with gold black EP fibre and after many good shots attailing reds, with only 1 swipe, I switched to the chartreuse fly in the right of the original pic. I don't remember the names of any of them.

After stalking a school of tailers I managed to drop it right in the sweet spot in front of the lead fish, a couple of short strips and Boom chaka Boom, fish on.

A great fight on the 7wt, he nearly had me to the backing twice, 28" and fat.
