Col Merriman's Weipa Trip


Col Merriman, from Southern NSW recently spent a week up here predominantly fly fishing. Although the fishing was a little tough at times, Col still managed some nice fish on fly. Having never caught a barramundi before, he was keen to fly fish for them on the low tide drains. Finding the barras wasn't as hard as it was to get them to bite. They were feeding on a particular small type of baitfish on a low tide drain and after several changes in fly, the "hatch was matched" and Col caught his first barra ever, about 30cm. To prove it wasn't a fluke, he then proceeded to catch another couple, the biggest, 62cm (pictured).
