NQ Fly Fishers - Fishing Alva Beach

Last Sunday the NQ Flyfishers had their monthly fishing get together at Alva Beach. We arrived around 7:30am as the tide was getting near the top. This allowed us to fish both the bottom of the tide and the top. As a group we landed 7 flathead for the morning, the biggest including 3 lagals. On this occasion only flathead were caught, but normally we land trevelly, bream and other species. For a slow morning and high winds it was a nice catch.




We then moved onto a local tarpon spot and landed approx 6 tarpon in the 30-50cm range. We also had a visiter from Denver, Colorado via Sale in Victoria (an exchange teacher)! Brett managed his first saltwater fish in Australia and a nice Tarpon, well done Brett!
