The Wildfish fly selection packs from JM Gillies are real eye catchers and sure fire winners for those new to fly fishing and even for some who might be not so new to the sport. There are nine packs (10 Felty’s flies in each) in the range and these are divided into two groups, the Freshwater Trout packs and various Eastuary/Saltwater packs. The reality is that there’s plenty of overlap. For example the Trout Streamer Pack would very easily be at home in the kit of a bass fisherman or in fact a fly fisherman just about anywhere around the country. Conversely the Bass Pack contains flies that are just as at home in many tropical freshwater systems right across the north and in the Billabong Pack are flies that would light up the eyes of a bass fisherman. It’s a very versatile selection that’s been put together by Peter Morse. BARRA PACK #5 BARRA PACK – Code: 35WFSW5 Barra live in a very wide range of waters from freshwater lagoons and rivers, through to the tidal reaches among the mangroves of those river mouths, and out along rocky head-lands and beaches. Sometimes, especially during the run-off, they’re eating quite specific food items that need to be imitated, and at other times (most of the time) they’ll feed on most things that are swum in front of them. This pack contains an excellent selection of known Barra killer flies that will cover all the scenarios Barra can be fished in. As a general rule use the more heavily dressed and darker flies in dirtier water, and the lighter sparser flies in cleaner water. Use a variety of retrieves but expect the bite on the pause. Barra like the bottom half of the falling tide and the first of the run in tide.
