Catching Blackfish On Flies: It's TOO Much Fun!

Luderick or blackfish (known as parore in New Zealand) are most often targeted on natural weed baits suspended under floats, but these feisty fish also respond extremely well to weed-imitating flies — presented on either conventional gear or fly tackle. Join Steve ‘Starlo’ Starling and James Caves of Bermi Fly fame to chase these tough little scrappers in the sudsy whitewater along a ruggedly beautiful rock ledge on the NSW far south coast.

If you’re interested in ordering some weed flies for yourself, here are a few suppliers Starlo trusts: @bermi_fly on Instagram, Hand Made Blackfish Floats on Facebook and Instagram, @m.delforce_84 on Instagram and BWC Flies at www.bwcflies.com.au

If you're looking for the perfect little floats/indicators for this caper, the larger Jet Pack bait floats from www.starlotackle.com are ideal for the job and come with their own sliding stoppers.
