North Australian FISH FINDER TM forums

Hey Guys,
Here is a clip of Will and I fly fishing Yellow Water back in August. It was damn frustrating trying to hook a decent fish in amongst all the small ones.

Ahh always soothing to the soul to see video's of that magical place!! By the way, the bigger fish hang around the channel before the sign

Thanks Freddy.

There were plenty of big fish cruising the channels between the weed beds on this particular day. But everytime we'd land a cast in front of a big one a little rat would shot out from amongst the weeds and take the fly. Sight fishing to barra made for a very rewarding day though.

Thanks Kev, it really is a beautiful place. I was speaking to Starlo over the weekend and he reckons it is still firing even now. But the boat ramp is closed so it's only accessible from Home Billabong.

Hey if you want give fly fishing a go and get a basic casting lesson get in touch with Cathie and Roger at Darwin Fly Rodders Assoc - http://darwinflyrodders.org.au/ . They are a great bunch of people at DFRA at hold free clinics down at the water front throughout the dry.

I just updated the Wind Knot Productions website, http://www.windknot.com.au, and there is info their on the flies Will and I use and how to tie them too.

Merry Xmas

Chris
