Mullet on Fly in the Eastern Cape

[yeboants]

Hi Guys,
so i fish bushmans and kariega river (kenton-on-sea) mostly doing dropshot etc... hard work but the rewards do come every now and then with some nice kob and leeries caught (and released)

now.. fly fishing.. was thinking of targeting mullet on a 4weight as there are some sizable mullet in that river.
any ideas on what type of flies to use, floating/intermediate/sinking line, retrieval methods etc?
thinking to give this a bash for some fun on the water next time i am down there.

cheers
ants

Something silver mylar flashy to get their attention to shoal behind it, and a trailing worm...they can't resist a nip..I've always wanted to, but the guys in UK target them successfully on spinning gear, you could easily tie a fly to mimic what works for them.
