| Flies for warm sea fishing Hi All, I live in Dubai, UAE and I plan on taking up fly fishing here. What I would like to know is what ready made flies are good for what species of fish?? The fish that I would be targeting here are: Grouper (Hamour) Barracuda Dorado King Mackeral Queen Fish Amberjacks and maybe even Yellowfin Tuna Anyway any suggestions would be highly appreciated. Most fish are taking silver/blue (Rapala/storm/yo-zuri) lures but the red/white (storm/rapala) lures are good for grouper & barracuda. So I would think that flies of that colour would also be good but not too sure???? __________________ Tight Lines, Ian Harper (fishemirates) www.fishemirates.com http://fishemirates.freeforums.org Remember .......

| Re: Flies for warm sea fishing  I'd imagine some of the big UK & American Pike patterns would work well. __________________ One man's fish is another man's poissons http://www.deepsea.co.uk http://www.wildtrout.org |

| Re: Flies for warm sea fishing Have a search on the web for salt water flies. I have found that you need a variety, as one day they will only take blue and gold and the next it has to be red and silver. Did you manage to get yourself a rod, reel and fly line yet? |

| Re: Flies for warm sea fishing Heres a good fly to use near reefs and rocks It imitates a small needle fish (relative of the garfish)of which you will find hundreds in tropical waters. Retrieve in sharp jerks  __________________ Nothing matters very much, few things matter at all - Plato ...only things like fresh bait and cold beer - Vagabond |

| Re: Flies for warm sea fishing Getting my tackle today (as already posted in fly fishing form threads) but the guy is also going to show which flies are good for the local waters ..... he makes them himself and he allows you to try them first (his own kit) then he will make them for me ...... so when I have them I will take photos and post them on here  __________________ Tight Lines, Ian Harper (fishemirates) www.fishemirates.com http://fishemirates.freeforums.org Remember .......
