The flathead fly did the job. A couple of weekends ago the fly club went to Alva beach and I mangaed to get 3 small flatheads. I tried as mentioned earlier and failed last weekend.I did get out yesterday on the bottom of the tide and yippee! 2 flathead, 1 bartail and and 1 northern sand both just under size but still happy! The fly has a red neckle hackle tail, red cheniele and UV polar cheniele twisted together for a body and large dumbell eyes on a size 1 hook. 7 wt rod with an intermedite fly line. Hope this helps, I will try and do some photos of the flys if anyone is interested.
