Can I fly fish in Perth?
Absolutely! Black bream in Swan River, tailor off the beach, flathead on flats, plus south-west WA has trout. Growing scene with great potential.
What fly rod to start?
9ft 6-weight is most versatile for Perth saltwater (bream, flathead, small pelagics). For south-west trout, a 5-weight. Sage and Redington at different price points.
Do you stock fly tying materials?
Yes — comprehensive range: hooks, threads, feathers, furs, synthetics, eyes, tools from Wapsi, Dr Slick, and others. Trout dries to saltwater streamers.
What fly line for saltwater?
Rio makes excellent saltwater lines for WA. Weight-forward floating covers most situations. Intermediate or sinking for deeper work or wind. Match weight to rod.
