Reply to Sangria and Roggie's dodgy flys

Hi Cath,

Disregard the last email, I think I have figured it out.

We'd love to be there and will be unless we are chasing sawfish around the Adelaide River.  Kate has finally caught 2 babies, so the fun begins. 
Speaking of the Adelaide, there is finally run off, but it won't be for long.  Kate has been up there over the last couple of days and the river is finally fresh with a fair bit of run off.  But be quick.  This morning there were 18 boats at the ramp.  The Adelaide is a tricky river, when it's hot it is very hot, but when it's not it can be hard.  If the creeks lower down have stopped flowing, head up past Goat Is and fish the run offs up there.  If they are no good Scotts is normally a winner on the top and the turn at the mouth or on the turn of the low as soon as there is enough water to get in, ride the tide up and fish the eddies.  It's tight and would be hard with a fly rod, but it is a challenge.

Best

Dion

PS I reckon Jim's Little Howard would be a cracker at the moment!! I have had some blinders up there on the moon phases in the past.  Barra normally feed on the prawns coming off the floodplain....all night, non stop boofing, until the morning spring tide slows the flow.  It's a mozzie infested night but something any keen barra fisherman should expereince once in a life time!

Inaugural NTFFSM fly tying/lying session

Hello to all,

It would appear that the weather is changing - for the better we hope - tides over the 6th/7th April look good for flats fishing however the wind could muck it up.

So, the following weekend, 13th/14th tides are not as good??  I have tentatively booked Roger's fly tying area for a social session of tying/lying, eating something from Cathie's kitchen (Ola! Mexican) with gallons of sangria!!!

There could be a degree of difficulty added to the fly tying, depending on the strength of my sangria !!

Let me know if you are game !!

Good tides for next weekend at Bynoe

For those of you looking for good tides on a weekend, next weekend, the 6th and the 7th April look great for flats and rock bars in Bynoe. New Moon too.

  I'm not too sure how the weather will be though.  At this stage it may be windy in the mornings, but that could change.  Will keep you up dated.

Here is Sunday tide....

UPDATE

wind does not look  real good for the week.

MORE FROM INSIGHT.

bridge at the Mary,all heading to Shady,Scotts crk is over the road and so
