Flathead on Fly 

'Delicate' procedure 😁

Love using soft plastics for them... fly is just something different... challenging.🎣

Thanks mate appreciate the support. I was fortunate enough to pick up an 8wt Gloomis cross current rod at mates rates but more recently have been buying some Max Catch gear. The reel is a Max Catch Avid Pro, which I really like, better that the TFO Black III I bought initially. The Max Catch Predator range of rods are also good, been using one for 12 months and really happy. The fly line is nothing special... just a general saltwater weight forward 8wt. If you're looking at well priced gear check out Max Catch. 🪰🎣

@@aPrioritiess thanks for the support mate... greatly appreciated. The rod is an older generation gloomis cross current teamed up with a new max catch avid reel… both 8wt with full floating line. 😎🪰🎣

You and me both 😂 I'm a bit of a hack when it comes to fly tying... functionality over cosmetics for me. Thanks for the comment and support mate greatly appreciated and something I'll keep in mind for sure. Rigging plastics and fly tying tips is something I've only "thought about" to date so maybe time to dive into in the near future. Thanks again... Catch Ya! 🎣

Tagging helps us better understand the fish (how many, how fast do they grow, where do they move to etc). Legal size (minimum) for dusky flathead in Queensland is 40cm.🎣

😂 Yes you are correct... only the sting has venom the flesh is not poisonous 😉
