Top Ten Giant Trevally Flies

[@skorflyfishing]

This is probably a question for Kirin. I noticed that your GT Clouser Minnow shown in the video was not tied with the normal bucktail tail. In fact it had no tail. it looked more like a very large Christmas Island Special. Is there a reason for this difference or was that not the fly you meant to grab? Thanks for the great fly info.

[@AardvarkMcLeodFlyFishing]

Hi there, for the GT clousers we don’t normally put a tail on them as the overall dressing becomes very long and GTs are not fussy when feeding on rays… anything that looks like it’s escaping is fair game…

[@skorflyfishing]

@@AardvarkMcLeodFlyFishing Got it. Good info. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@stevebaker1514]

What was the point of having the other guy even there. Just to hawk product? Waste of time. Eat the rich!

[@AardvarkMcLeodFlyFishing]

He provided all the flies… 😄

[@Capt.JorgeMoran]

I deserve them because I brush my teeth every night before bed time and make my bed every morning. I would like to win them because newbies deserve the proper ammo to take down monsters too.

[@sm4rtmouth]

I´d get a kick out of it catching some fish with that nice collection, at least I´d cast them away trying to get a hit and not just throw them at the camera ;)

[@AardvarkMcLeodFlyFishing]

Thanks for the comment!

[@cbeckplumber1]

I absolutely love your KZbin channel. Please continue producing informative clips like this. I watch these during lunch breaks and it takes me off to far away places I cannot wait to visit and fish one day. Your personality is absolutely magnetic and genuine. Do you have clients from the United States?

[@AardvarkMcLeodFlyFishing]

Thanks so much! We just got the channel back after it was hacked 2 months ago, we’re back!

[@dknew973]

Great vid. Thanks for producing them. Invaluable resource. I’m just back from my first GT trip and totally hooked, and would love to be better prepared next time with this fab collection of flies.

[@bobbybrixton347]

Hi guys, I hope I deserve these awesome flies because I just started saltwater fly fishing and I have never ever won anything before, so fingers crossed.

[@spineslayer86]

Hook sizes?

[@AardvarkMcLeodFlyFishing]

Mostly 6/0 with some 4/0 thrown in for good measure...

[@NathanielJamesSurf]

I'd love to win these. Im looking to explore some lesser known and affordable (for a 21 yr old student) GT fishing over in Indonesia next winter along with giving the Bass on the Welsh coast a hammering on the fly this year - I'd love to try some of these GT flies both here and in Indonesia. I check out Aardvark's videos each week and find them really interesting. Plus....I never seem to win online comps so, hey, it'd make my week to win something!

[@dorothyriegert8958]

Hello Peter, great video. Any source for the Alex Roux Mantis Shrimp? I am building my GT collection, and Fulling Mills doesn't have it. Will be tying most the patterns as well.

[@AardvarkMcLeodFlyFishing]

Hi Dorothy, thanks for the comment but in all honesty I don’t have the dressing for that one.. I just used them...

[@dorothyriegert8958]

@@AardvarkMcLeodFlyFishing Thanks Peter, I did find a few of them size 1/0, and 2/0 from FM in the UK, and also AOS Co. Good to have something to reference when tying them.

[@petersimpson8906]

I'm off to Mozambique this year and I would love the opportunity to cast these flies at the GTs and the other top-water predators in the canyons along the Mozambique Channel.

[@stevehardy6252]

Great ties I would love the chance to fish them on our Barrier Reef Trevs and Gts and our Barramundi I think many would be highly successful.

[@AardvarkMcLeodFlyFishing]

Thank you Steve, glad it was useful and let us know if your successful!

[@ifsteve]

I'd love to win those and you could just hand them to me on the tarmac in Farquhar in two weeks!!!

[@Olsey23]

My first saltwater trip is approaching in August. Kiritimati is the destination and I can't wait tease out a few GTs. I'n expecting it to be difficult but that box of flies would come in handy and give me a wide range to try. Thanks for the video!

[@rodwentworth6683]

Great video. Thanks for sharing. Just retired and have trips planned to CXI, Providence, Farquhar, Wessels, and Baja for roosters. Sure could use a fine selection of these top ten flies. :-)

[@chicwboost]

Because I've never caught a GT and I'm saving to go in a year hopefully

[@davidstocker5736]

Fly design is actually engineering. I like that.

[@AardvarkMcLeodFlyFishing]

It certainly can be! Thank you for the comment..

[@petero.5980]

Are there recipes for tying these flies? I'm particularly interested in the gym sock but can't find any resources on line. Thanks

[@turgulse1]

Great info thanks! Despite chasing Geets in a few places now, I’ve not heard of some of your flies, especially the shrimp/crab type patterns. Can’t wait to try some this spring in Indonesia, if you send them my way😉

[@wolverine7878]

very useful Information. Great flies also for other species. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us. Tight lines.

[@michalvavro1569]

Amazing, really cools flies. I have never been GT fishing but it is on my bucket list in near future. It will be nice to have some pro flies in my box. Thank you very much for all the info about flies. Tight lines. Much love.

[@ashsahcash]

I would be chuffed to bits to win these amazing flies , no matter how much fly tying material i buy from Fulling Mill my flies can not in any way match up to these beauties , i am off to Christmas Island in November and would be fantastic to catch a G.T on one . Massive thank you to Peter and his team organising the trip for us and i promise i will share with my fishing buddy .

[@brandonarchibald3570]

Fulling Mill are gods! Please let me win these flies! I live in Utah, and I need to catch a GT instead of a dinky trout, it's my dream!

[@ryanharradine8780]

Brilliant video. It's great to have filling mill on board producing flies that the average fly tyier cannot produce..Well done Peter and thank you Filling Mill. Be wonderful to add these to my collection.

[@brandonlarson9172]

Headed to Christmas Island in a month and have been dreaming of GTs for years. Nothing would be better than putting some of the best GT flies on earth to good use!!

[@glencollard9656]

Hi, guys, first gt trip coming up this year, done my research and fulling mill flies look the best, would love to use these flies.

[@tedhaas8440]

I don't need the flies since I prefer tying my own. I just want to be one of the guys that get's to go on the trip! Please send me there! :D

[@part270579]

Awesome video guys. Very informative. I now have a good understanding of what to tie for my 2020 GT trip. Thanks!

[@laurenceetienne2305]

GT is on my check list since a long time ! This box would definetly help to get closer to my goal !!

[@jeffkreager7717]

Headed to CXI on 4/1/19. Thank you for this and the other informational videos.

[@kippenbroek]

I deserve them to when I can save up the money for a GT trip :)

[@johnhyosoo]

Thanks for sharing. It's very informative. I will follow those patterns Cheers!

[@johanneschristensen2492]

Because I've never caught a GT and really to go fishing for them

As I've just started getting more serious about my Saltwater flyfishing experience but have done some . Always trying to get it. I'm retired guy so to have a set of these Flies would be a great asset to my flyfishing excursions and I'm retired so budget is a thing for old age dudes like me .
