Early Spring Bream on Fly

After the winter spawning season as the weather and the water start to warm up, the yellowfin bream start to make their way back up the harbour. Today is mostly a reconnaissance mission to cover a lot of water and find out where the best numbers of fish are holding at this early point in the season.
Watch out for a special demonstration on the art of using a fly / lure retriever!

Great video, I particularly enjoyed the composer with the fly retriever

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! :)

[@FlyLibrary]

I need to try more salt!

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

Give it a go! :)

[@jaybarnett3550]

Another good video, Solid explanations of your strategy too. I find it very informative and useful. Even though I haven’t quite developed my fly fishing skills yet. Just waiting for our Melbourne lockdown to finish and I’ll be picking up my fly rod and giving it a crack.

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

Good stuff Jay! I highly recommend get a casting lesson or 2 at the start if you can. :)

[@jaybarnett3550]

Peachy Fly Fishing will definitely look at it. Guessing it is best not to learn bad habits from the start.

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

@@jaybarnett3550 Absolutely! It can save a lot of frustration and get you off to a positive start, that can make all the difference. :)

Excellent, thanks for sharing

Thanks Jens! :)

Saw you fishing that day. I was fishing off the rocks a bit further up. Caught a 45cm to 50cm Trev awesome fight that was. I think I caught the same flattie you caught. Was around the same size. Good spot to fish 🎣

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

Good stuff! Yeah it's a productive area that's for sure. :)

[@chunglee763]

Peachy Fly Fishing Not sure if you’re allowed to go further up river in your boat but the mangroves around Rydalmere hold big bream. Maybe you could give it a shot. Keep the awesome vids coming. 👌

@@chunglee763 Thanks mate! Yeah I'm not sure if your allowed to go up past where Duck Creek comes in, have to do a bit of research on that! :)

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

@Chung Lee I just checked the latest RMS maps, upstream of Silverwater Bridge is closed to all recreational vessels. Bummer! ;)

Great vid thanks

Thanks mate!

Hey Steve... Thanks angina for sharing.. Great vid... I'm having some hols next month and I'm going to tie some of your stinger shrimps and give them a go... Sorry about the lure retriever.. We've all one it!😡😎🙄

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

Thanks Steve, good luck mate, hope you catch a few! ;)

[@saratoga1956]

@@PeachyFlyFishing love the bead chain you use too .. not shiny seems more subtle .. do you find that better .. or not a critical issue .. are you fishing the shrimp on a full floater .. fly heavy enough to get to the fish? Cheers Steve

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

@@saratoga1956 Yes I like the more dull coloured bead chain for this, it's not supposed to stand out as it's part of the tail, you want the shrimp eyes to stand out. Yeah I fish them on a floater with a long fluorocarbon leader, that works for water up to about 12-15 feet. Beyond that you would want some kind of sinking line. :)

Another great vid

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

Thanks David! :)

[@MrJiggijiggi]

Did you manage to retrieve your lure retriever ???. I really enjoyed that session and the commentary.

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

No I didn't get it back! I tried but the water was too murky, couldn't see it! Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it! :)

[@flynomadic999]

Great vid! I like those sage bass rods. Are you using the 230 or 290?

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

Thanks! Yeah I like them too, I'm using the 230 (the Bluegill). :)

[@flynomadic999]

Thats the one 👍 The Scott 806/3 Warm Water Special is another great option for fishing tight structure. (if ya can find one) Regret letting mine go 🤦‍♂️

[@brucechappell1550]

The seagulls were not happy with you

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

Haha! True, they were rather noisy! ;)

[@brucechappell1550]

@@PeachyFlyFishing I am sure I heard them saying "mine, mine, mine"

[@brucechappell1550]

Looking forward to your update on Euro Hanak 3wt with OPST commando smooth on trout water. Interested if you find you can fish upstream with it as well as swinging.

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

@@brucechappell1550 Should fish upstream fine I think, the SA Sonar tips work nicely with the commando heads and taper off to a finer point, so it should present the fly a bit more gently. :)
