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

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

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 ;)
