Fly fishing help and a small Mildura report..
Posted: Sun Jan 18, 2015 9:27 am
So after a week at Mildura I have spent some time with my brothers fly rod learning how to fly fish. (After carp with a bread fly, no luck though even when we put out real bread as burley!) As I don't mind trying to catch some trout every now and then I was thinking about buying a fly rod and reel. Just wondering if people could recommend a rod and possibly a reel for around the 150 mark, 4 piece rod would be good for storage and transport.
I don't want to spend too much as I'm not sure how much I will use it. I am open to second hand so long as it is in good order.
A quick report on Mildura fishing. As usual you can catch carp with just about any bait and a hook!
As for the natives etc we picked up a few little silvers on both corn and shrimp, and the one time we parked the ski boat next to a log for a quick fish we also got a 50cm cod.
Prob the most encouraging thing to note was that the water was a clear as I have eve seen it for that area. Pity I didn't have the tinny to do some trawling or flicking lures in the snags!
Cheers, Rob.
