Fly Fishing For Cod
Hey guys,
Something a bit different this time round. Another session exclusively fly fishing for cod off the kayak and then a quick session with the baitcast gear the morning after. My conversion rate is rather poor and there's a lot of lessons I'm learning with fly fishing for cod but it feels great to have ticked off one of my major goals for the cod season on my second trip.

Re: Fly Fishing For Cod
Yeah its a 2020 outback. Rod is a sage bass II largemouth, runs off grain weight for the line. From memory its around the 9/10 weight area but would have to look it up to know for sure

Re: Fly Fishing For Cod
I see, gotta be heavy outfit. That surface fly looks big and heavy.
Been wanting to take my fly rod for cod but I think I will struggle to cast that kind of big heavy fly on my 6wt Sage

Went there couple times last summer, caught a yellowbelly, it's better when it's low and slow I reckon.oli fishing wrote: ↑Sun Dec 27, 2020 7:14 pmJust watched the video on YouTube was a sick video. I’m heading to Murchison on Tuesday has anyone fished there before and know what it’s like?

Re: Fly Fishing For Cod
A 6 weight isn't going to be able to cast these flies. I've pushed my 6 weight casting some larger flies at eps but these are another level.Sebb wrote: ↑Sun Dec 27, 2020 9:09 pmI see, gotta be heavy outfit. That surface fly looks big and heavy.

Havent been recently but been some good reports from the Goulburn lately. Can be a little trick landbased but know a few who do it and get results. Plenty of roads and tracks down to the river there, don't think any one in particular is better than the othersoli fishing wrote: ↑Sun Dec 27, 2020 7:14 pmJust watched the video on YouTube was a sick video.
