The Gold Bomber

The gold Bomber fly has a place is my fly box, it's a great dirty water fly for Barramundi, King Salmon, Jacks and many more species.

Permit Pipi
By Craig Jenkins
The Pipi fly was designed with Permit in mind, pipi's are a major part of the Cape York Permit's diet. Permit feed in schools digging up sand looking for the shellfish this is the time to have this fly in the water, working the fly with short 2 inch strips. The fly is designed with a lead eye placed to the back of the fly to make the fly more buoyant at the front this makes the fly attempt to stand between strips making it look like the pipi's trying to bury itself back in the sand, like it's alive.

Tuna Profile
By Craig Jenkins
The Tuna Profile as the name suggest is designed for our Long Tail Tuna. The fly cuts the air like a knife, able to be delivered quickly to fast moving Tuna without the worry of fowling. The hook is well exposed for maximum hook up rate. Flies tied on circle hooks has worked well with most fish being hooked in the jaw hinge allowing it to be released unharmed. I like to tie these fly’s three or four inches long for Tuna however we have tied them six too eight inches long on 6/0 and 8/0 hooks for Giant Trevally they work very well.

The White Thing
By Craig Jenkins
The “White Thing” is a simplified version of the Pink Thing, another great Aussie fly. The White Thing has earned a place in my fly box it’s a great Barra producer on the beach, it has an excellent hook up rate with the hook riding under the fly. I also tied the fly using lead eyes of varied sizes to weight the fly’s according to the depth of water to be fished.
As most of my fly tying, I like to use the KISS principal, Kept It Simple Stupid. Being a guide out in the sticks, I normally need to make many flies fast and with basic material.

Jack Slammer
By Craig Jenkins
Jack Slammer was originally designed to target Mangrove Jacks, I needed a fly that would be snag resistant. Allowing the fly to be fished right up into snags where the bigger Jacks hang out. These areas have low light levels so I added a grizzly hackle for contrast. The lead eye is placed well back along the hook shank this allows the fly to sink horizontally, which resembles a prawn. I have found this fly to be equally at home on the beach, especially if there is a rock or two about.
