A great topwater fly in summer for Australian Bass, Estuary Perch and Bream
Steve Peach is a passionate fly angler and member of Sydney Fly Rodders Club.
The Peachy Cicada is a fly he designed specifically for targetting Australian Bass. It’s a cicada pattern that, duing the summer months, seems to be the most effective leader for catching bass on the surface.
When damsel nymphs are migrating to hatch, this fly can be used on its own as an imitative pattern with a bit of fancy “look at me!” going on. The Wendouree Damsel also works well as an anchoring point fly with a team of traditional wet flies, soft hackles or nymphs.
