Thank you for posting the article on mullet fishing. I live in Okinawa Japan and the Japanese fish for mullet all day using a chum bait on the China Sea. I tried several trout flies on a 7wt flyrod to catch these nice size mullet and know they would give a good fight but they swim right by them. I will try your recommendations and perhaps have better luck.
I do know that it is not easy. You might get some help from the man that owns Just Reels.

Give him a try.
It has a long time since i´ve tried to cast a fly for this fish with no succes...Now, this report gave me new hope.
Here in Brazil we´ve diferent mullets along the shore. In the south, 3000 km from were i am, they seem to catch on anything even a bare hook!! But here at north they are much more selective. But i think the key are small flies and a lot of tryng, again and again...
hi steve, you mentioned winged version. do you tie the wings together with the foam ie just behind the foam stil keeping the foam on the fly
Hi :)

Richard,
Sorry about that. A small flaw in the code. It should look fine now.

When I bring up this series of pages the photo's of the slinky set up and photos of the reel and Maxima 27 yard reels are on the left side of page and cover up the writing?
i have this rod. its a verry nice rod. i hope that he bring me a lot of fish . the rod have a verry nice look.
i have cast and think that is verry well.
Joe,
Str is short for storrelse in Danish, which simply means size (hook size in this case).
Hope this helps.
Martin
In relation to hook size - can anyone tell me what (str ) stands - for.
I'm very impressioned by yours full dressed claassic salmon flies! I never seen perfection in ever little particolares like this ones. Simply the best that i've seen so far! best regards.
my mum is thinking of getting car rod holder for my brothers birthday she wondred how much..
I have had success yanking motors from microwave ovens - the motor that turns the turntable works very nice and they can be had for free at the transfer station (aka: junkyard). The only advantage/disadvantage is mounting will vary and you will have images of bacon rather than disco sartorial nightmares.
I'm not very familiar with a brown trout with a green back and pink stripe down its side but i must be wrong.
where can i obtain picric. acid. i tie flies here in arkansas
I have been flyfishing for about three years and most of that time I have fished dry flies, Just this year I started fishing wet flies and I have enjoyed it tremendously and have had some good luck. I hope other unseasoned flyfisherman like myself give it a try.
very nice and very effective in little streams or spring creek, for little and distrustful and astute rainbows.Size 10 to 12 long shank hook, weighted with few turns of lead 15 mm.
Martin, thanks for your answer. I have had an oppurtunity to see danish DVD about mullet, so it had to be good fight on 5-6 rod. Thanks for the image of the fly, it is really interesting to use tube body for such kind of fly.
Wow! Thanks for the beauty. There's no doubt that trout inspire us to keep nature as clean as possible and to make the most of our time here. It's so great seeing the love for these creatures bringing out the best in us. This fellow has a true gift, and I appreciate gff for the introduction.
… I have a small favor to ask.
Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.
The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
