终于打破鸡蛋

地点: Around 西贡
Fly: Size 8 Pink Head Gotcha

They're all 细到可怜... but the last cod took the fly pretty hard and put up a good fight.

師兄,收獲都算唔錯喇,繼續努力!!!

good catch with fly fishing, add oil ar

新世界的開始,希望態再接再厲,打開局面.

X, it's a good start...


do you think using size 8 or smaller is prefered in HK from your experience? have you used other patterns?  i guess crazy charlie and gotcha should be a must

Using a floating line with a long leader or with a intermediate line?

Good catch "C Hing"...................

原來海釣都可fiy

Have always been a fan of floating/sink-tip lines because of their ease in handling.... The particular line I was using is the SA Nymph taper WF line which has a massive 60ft+ belly for turning over weighted nymphs. I bought it while I was back in Singapore a couple'a wks back because I intended to throw weighted flies with long leaders. The leader I was using is made up of an SA Bonefish tapered intermediate leader (about 7ft) and then a straight 8 or 10 Ib flurocarbon of about 6ft.

Jacky: I'm not too sure about fly size at the moment, cos I'm so desperate to catch something that I'm chucking the small flies first. It's just a rule of thumb to downsize for finicky fish. Another reason why I used size 8 was becos my mate in Sydney used the same fly for the breams in Sydney to great effect. He mentioned that although the flies tied on sz 6 and 8 are abt the same sz, but the fish preferred the 8... I also found that the size of the bead chain eyes seem to make a difference as well... just need to find the HK breams to test out the theory...

keep us posted on your bream venture

did you mean a longer belly is easier to ture over a weighted fly?

on weight forward lines, you'll find that casting the belly (i.e. the thicker part) is alot easier cos more energy is transmitted because of the larger cross-section of the line... so a longer belly allows more energy to be transferred to turn over weighted flies.... that's what I think anyway
