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?

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!

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 .

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.
@AardvarkMcLeodFlyFishing2 жыл бұрын
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…

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!
