saltwater flies

GT - clousers, flippers, poppers and GT ice-cream

I have not used all off the above, but i have had success on some.

I am not sure about the other fish but i would think the best thing for rock cod is a heavy fly with a lot of colour.

Where are you going?

Rockcod should be skulking around structure, use a fly that swims inverted to prevent snagging, eg a charlie style or clouser. Sebastiaan has made good reccomendations for the kings. Perhaps add something with a wider profile like a slammer of flashy profile type flies. When all else fails cast a salty bugger!

Here we go, Mud Charlie should be the business in the lakes, could pick up a Springer on this as well:

go to flytalk.co.za, they have a couple charlie tying manuals. Step by step guides. The fly varies in shape, colour size, so there is no fixed tying technique.

Good luck

how is this fly tied ?
There is a SA version of this fly which is effectivly tied the same way, just with bucktail as opposed to plastic for the back. Its called the "Baby Cray". The original pattern is in the Dec 2003 issue of "Flyfishing" magazine. The same fly is also in a later issue of "Complete Flyfisherman" but the the author has upgraded the fly and uses a drinking straw for the shellback. Personally I prefer the bucktail shellback. If you don't have access to the older mags, let me know and I'll post the recipe here for you.
