Big Queenies & Bad Weather

There's no doubt why Peter (Windy) Wilson has aquired his nickname - crikey we've had some wind here of late! Despite some ordinary conditions for some flyfishing newcomers and old hats alike, the fishing has still been quite good. Some fantastic BIG queenies turned up to the south this week giving some newcomers to saltwater fly fishing a great thrill. Many of the beaches have been unfishable due to a large swell rolling in. The tuna have been patchy in close, some days quite good, and very close to shore, with both longtails and macks, plenty of madfish and even some billfish been seen. The creeks are still fishing well - smaller queenies, giant herring, and goldien trevally on the flats and some great barra fishing around the low tide drains.
