First bass in the local lake since the floods 8/04/2012





















A few flies I'm tying for the current Tuna season and some bass flies plus my first bass in my lake since it has been repeatedly flooded since Xmas 2011. The Mooloolabah Longtail Tuna Chase was scheduled for this week end but had to be postponed till next w/end due to bad weather. Here are some of the Surf Candy flies I've been tying up for the competition. I have teamed up with Ross Beinke "Team Mako" but are limited to moderate to calm conditions e.g less than 15 knots wind as Ross's boat is only 4.8 m long an Makocraft Estuary Tracker not designed for offshore work. I will put up a post after next w/ends reschedule hoprfully holding a dirty great tuna on fly. Cheers Pat.
