There are many different ways to effectively target flathead and flounder in the Swan River, but perhaps the most "niche" method is fly fishing. It adds extra layers of skill and finesse to this hugely popular way of fishing, all contributing to the ultimate Swan River flats experience.
As you'll see in this video, you don't need to be a master fly fisherman to enjoy this side of the sport. If rookies like Jayson can do it, so can YOU!

Black and purple is the go. Believe it or not but medium to fast retrieve has worked really good for me. I used to fish around point Walter a lot! Best I've done is 12 flatties over 43cm in a 3 hour stint and the biggest was always just on the shoreline

went down to the store today. service blew me away. so different to some of the big camping stores, where if you can find staff, not interested in talking to ya. i now believe i have more than a fighting chance of catching fish on a regular basis. equipment, and locations supplied. Yeeha

Great fun in a spot I would not have thought would be worth looking at. Nice video thanks.

@dandeelstra Год назад

The verbal abuse that flounder copped before coming home for dinner...😂

@compleatanglernedlands4318 Год назад

Deserved every bit of it 😂

What a great session, good stuff.

That’s a big flathead!! Would love to go to Australia/NZ to try it out! These flounder and sand dabs get boring after a while here in Washington state lol. Keep up the salt fly vids!

@compleatanglernedlands4318 Год назад

Thanks mate, they’re a pretty cool fish!

@darrensaltmarsh8095 Год назад

Great video. I’m moving to Perth from the UK (Wales) in a couple of weeks and can’t wait to unload the fly gear and have a go!! Any recommendations on patterns?? Baitfish over shrimp work best?

@compleatanglernedlands4318 Год назад

Clouser minnows and crazy charlies are popular options for flathead, flounder and bream in the Swan River.

@WaFishos01 7 месяцев назад

Nice vid mate any chance you know what the spot you caught the flounder at?

@juliantaylor3654 6 месяцев назад

Hey mate, done plenty of spin fishing for all these little guys, getting my first fly rod... after catching a bone fish in Cocos Keeling Is... what a rush! Keen to hit my spots with a fly, what type of fly line should I be getting for this? Intermediate, sinking, floating? I dont normally fish anything deeper than knee to thigh deep, casting off the drops, what would you recommend? Thanks, keep up the good work

@TryABaconSlice Год назад

Hey mate, are there any reliable lure choices to target flounder on spin gear? I do pretty well on flatties throwing double clutches around the swan but have never had any interest from flounder (i fish a pretty large double clutch)

@compleatanglernedlands4318 11 месяцев назад

Bucktail jigs and vibes as well as plastics are great options for flounder as well as flathead in the swan.

@paulwilliams9781 8 месяцев назад

Nice catches mate, just wondering what size hook your using with your clouser?

@compleatanglernedlands4318 7 месяцев назад

Hi Paul, from memory it was a size 4 or 6 hook

@DaMotoVlogga Год назад

Hey mate was this around the freshwater Bay Area by chance? Cheers

@compleatanglernedlands4318 Год назад

In the vacinity 😉

@Goanamook Год назад

Good to see it

@johntan1107 Месяц назад

I'm 99% sure you're on Google maps mate!😅 look up the street and pan onto the water and there's two fellas wading fishing

@chaffnz Год назад

Are you sight fishing everything? Will you blind fish that sort of area as well?

@compleatanglernedlands4318 Год назад

This kind of fishing is almost always blind casting, but flounder can be quite easy to spot behind a lure, hence the ability to try again if they don’t commit the first time.

@stevegray4012 Год назад

the underwater footage was great

@compleatanglernedlands4318 Год назад

Thanks Steve!

@nicoloscarpa9683 Год назад

Is there any flathead still around? haven’t caught a flatty in a month ,but caught a flounder last week

@compleatanglernedlands4318 Год назад

Still plenty around mate 😉

@ethanhardley9448 Год назад

is this matilda bay in the swan river?

@compleatanglernedlands4318 Год назад

A little further downstream from there

@liamcoates855 Год назад

Whereabouts is that?

@compleatanglernedlands4318 Год назад

In the Swan River Liam

@liamcoates855 Год назад

@@compleatanglernedlands4318 yeah but whereabouts in the swan thanks

@compleatanglernedlands4318 Год назад

For this style of fishing location isn’t really important. Every sand flat in lower and middle reaches of the Swan River is guaranteed to hold flatfish, just a matter of figuring out how to fish your local zone 😉
