Howzit, my question is probably a tough one to answer, so what colour flies should I use... More specifically, should I choose the colour of my fly based on the colour of the water? To me it makes sense that the darker the water the brighter the fly should be, and on the other end of te scale, the clearer the water the more life like/natural the flies need to be. For example, when fishing for bream or whiting in relatively clear water, should I use a bright pink shrimp imitation or a very normal almost life like colour? I have tried to find a answer online but cant find anything that answers my question. Thank you

Hi Michael, Good questions, I work on clear water on a bright sunny day use bright colored flies. Clear water on a lightly cloudy day natural colored flies. Clear water on heavy clouded day dark flies. Muddy water I like to use dark flies as well or surface flies can be a good choice. Another rule is fish feeding aggressively use bright colored flies spooky fish use natural colored that's if you aren't matching the hatch which over rides any other rules. Thanks & Good luck. )<)))">

	Hi Craig, I am interested in visiting Weipa and having a couple of days out with you. When is the best time of year to chase Tuna?
	Hi Craig , we may be visiting in the near future . I have a 10wt strudwick dbt wondering what fly line you reccomend
	G'day Craig, I have recently been on two fishing trips, one over in NT and the other in North Queensland. On both occasions, I was quite impressed on the experience that both guides had advertised, these would certainly be the "fishing trip of a life time". I received a unpleasant surprise on arrival at both destination to find out that in fact I wouldn't be fishing with the guide which I had booked the trip with, instead fishing with employees of theirs. One guide I fished with had five weeks experience and the other less then a year. I was far from impressed, because it was the so called experience which prompted me to book these guys. I was wondering what your policy's are on this issue.
