Metro Salmon!
Submitted by Anonymous on Tue, 2014-12-09 20:55
A few days ago I called good mate Scott Everett (FW maggot) and said lets hit the metro salmon as I've been having a great time with them for a while now ...... especially on fly gear!
Scott was keen to learn more about flyfishing and we ended up with several solid fish each on fly (Scotts first) and even when the school was shut down to softplastics/minnows/stickbaits etc the fly got the results!
Location was near Mewstones and Sunday just gone looking the goods ....... weather wise!

When you fly from the boat do you actively cast, or just let the fly drift out with the current/drift and then strip back. Fly casting on a boat makes it a one person affair to avoid tangles etc IMO.

Metro Salmon on fly!
Cheers fellas, sorry for the late reply ....... Ive been away filming!
Cransy, yes I cast my fly line out (at the school) which is a " fast sink " Scientific Angler fly line and let it sink which is paramount at that salmon spot as they're hugging the bottom (most times)!
Small twitches with the clouser (in their face) and whamo ...... awesome feeling!
Yes its a solo event indeed
I've been saltwater flyfishing now for 15 years and ticked off many species ........ flyfishing is my biggest buzz for sure

What about a night on how to go about doing deep drop fishing for us "never done it" types.

Great to see the diversity in WA waters. Consistantly pushing the boundaries - nice work Ryan.
