Flies

Mick Hall's Para Caddis is a killer during the caddis hatches in the local streams. This emerger/parachute style of fly is essential for the flybox. 

The Royal Wulff is a classic fly that can be used in all streams and rivers. A great Mayfly and attractor pattern. 

The Tungsten Hare & Copper Flashback Nymph is an awesome fly for early season nymphing on the Thredbo river. When the water is high get one of these down deep and the trout won't be able to resist this nymph.

This Hi-vis version of the traditional Parachute Adams is much easier to see for us guys n gals with not so good eyesight.

The Elk Hair Caddis is probably the most well known caddis fly pattern. A simple fly that perfectly represents the caddis moth. Where ever your fishing for trout, you can bet that will be caddisflies. 

Mick Hall's Chopper Hopper is a great looking grasshopper pattern. When it's hopper season you really need a couple of the  beauties ready to go.

A fantastic attractor pattern that floats high and easy to see. A perfect searching pattern. A great alternative to grasshopper pattern.

Double Trouble CDC - Flash Pheasant Tail 

Mick Hall's Peeping Stick Caddis is Mick's take on the stick caddis nymph. Caddis can be found in just about every trout stream in the world and caddis nymphs are a  big part of a trout diet.

The Klink Quill is a slim bodied emerger with a Hi-vis parachute wing. Fussy trout will find this fly hard to refuse. 

A locally designed fly to match the Caddis and Mayfly hatches that can be quite prolific on the Thredbo. A very nice variant of the ever reliable Klinkhammer.  

The Tan variant of the Spotlight Caddis is a more natural looking fly. Low riding but still very buoyant.

Noel's Knobby is a spun deer hair grasshopper pattern that floats like a boat. The yellow chenille body is the perfect color for our local grasshoppers. 

The Jindy Special is a locally designed streamer pattern that mimics the common smelt found in the waters of the Snowy Mountains. 

Smethursts Baetis Bomb is a smaller nymph with a double tungsten bead 

The Parchute Adams is an all time favorite fly around here in the Snowy Mountains. A superb emerger pattern that is an effective dryfly just about anywhere. 

Damsel In Distress - Olive is a great Damselfly dry fly pattern.

Manic Tackles Realistic Crayfish is the perfect yabby imitation for those big yabby feeding trout. 

Elk Hair Caddis - White is a very good Caddis imitation for the "Snowflake Caddis" that is often found on the local rivers and streams.

Manic Tackle Double Trouble CDC Fire Red Flash

Manic Tackles Mini Dungeon in natural is an articulated streamer pattern for big hungry fish. 

Mick Hall's Green Water Beetle is a nice gum beetle imitation up here in the Snowy Mountains. Fishes just below the surface in still or fast water. 

Mick Hall's Penstock Brown Comp Dun is a parachute styled mayfly pattern. With some foam and poly-yarn in the wingpost this Dun will float all day. 

The Hippie Stomper is part beetle part blowfly. A very buoyant fly suitable for all water.

Mick Hall's Chaser is lean bodied baitfish pattern. Works great in just about all water anywhere in the world. 

The Black Cricket is a great early season hopper pattern. The Black color is particularly good for the crickets in spring and early summer.
