A great mid-size mid water fly – in sizes 1 to 6 and colours white over white, olive over white or tan and olive over shrimp.
Note these are great flies for all sorts of fishes – the white polar fibre goes fairly clear in the water and moves similar to the action of baitfish.
Fish these with a floating or intermediate line and vary the retrieve – the pause catches fish.
Tying instructions for the Polar Fibre Minnow, and other great flies for Gogley’s Lagoon, can be found on the Central Coast Fly Rodders website.
The Polar Fibre Minnow has been around for many years. Originally developed by the guys behind H2o tying materials, it has been a proven fish taker for a long time. This fly can be fished dead drift and the polar fibre sways in the current. Deadly!
