North Australian FISH FINDER TM forums

Hey Mixfix........ You hooked a large Barra where??? in the man made lakes a Fairway waters. Thats crazy I often used to practice a few loops on those lakes, always felt like a bit of a dick thinking people must think i'm chasing fish. Any way which one

Yes, I like to have a flick with the old flyrod from time to time..

I use a 10 weight Loomis GL 2 2 piece with a Gillies wide arbor reel and weight forward intermediate.
I have also got a 10 -11 weight Abu combo, that is OK for most fresh water fishing, you can really tell the difference between them when casting!
Interestingly no one seems to stick to IGFA leader make up, butt leader-line class tippet - shock leader. I always do because you never know when that world record fish is gonna strike!
