well went out to Wyaralong today saw plenty of big carp and had a few follows ,as it turned out my wooly buggers and nymphs were a bit on the small side but I did have a large grizzle and yellow marabou wooly bugger still stuck in my akubra from a previous trip chasing saratoga,and what do you know ? it worked :youbeauty
-
still figuring out the pic sorry
-
sorry just saw this...
Nymphs and small woollies are all you need
-

went back out to Wyaralong this morning ,a bit overcast at first and hard to spot the fish but I did get two on a fly called a backstabber which is supposed to look like a crayfish but I don't recon it does.doesnt matter anyway it works. :))this fish is the biggest of the two and he fought really well

theres some big tilapia out there too

Looks like someone threw up on your reel mate. :)
-
Excellent ;D
All the carp flies I am using came from a shop in Ballarat i grabbed while i was there at the start of the year.
So mostly in the 8-10 size ... i tend not use much bigger but do get the odd hook straightening .... i go too hard sometimes too eager to rip their head off :Oops)
-
Keep pulling them out and planting trees on them.
Yep some cracker tillies in there.

yeah all my buggers were about size twelve good for trout,cheers for that i'll tie a few in 8-10.They don't seem to mind the backstabbers tied on a size 6 either :thumbsup
-
Perfect :)
Anything around that size that looks half woolly is great
they just don't seem to like bright colors in the creeks... i doubt they would be much different in Wyaralong.
Might catch you around out there one day
-
I agree mate ,they'd be like the trout in that respect.i think the Dam fish like yellow because of all the corn kernels that people use as bait ;)
