What flies for bream in Perth?
Small crab and shrimp patterns (sizes 4-8) in natural colours. Clouser Minnows in olive/white or tan/white. Bream respond to slow-stripped patterns near structure and drop-offs.
Do you stock saltwater flies?
Yes — patterns designed for WA species including bream flies, flathead deceivers, baitfish streamers, and crab patterns. All tied on quality saltwater hooks.
What flies for south-west trout?
Standard trout patterns work — Royal Wulff, Elk Hair Caddis, nymphs (Pheasant Tail, Hare's Ear), and small streamers. Match local hatches when possible. Sizes 12-16 cover most situations.
Can I tie my own flies?
Absolutely — it's a rewarding part of fly fishing. We stock all the materials and tools you need. Many anglers find custom-tied flies give them confidence (and catch fish!).
