What Mike said. Those in most fresh-water lagoons and impoundments are dark in colour and can take on a 'muddy' taste originating from algae in the water. Saltwater fish on the other hand are quite silver and are very good eating. Barramundi are catadromous, the opposite of salmon.

No idea of weight, I have lengths marked on my flyrod and use that (or a tape-measure if in my boat) to get a quick length before release. Saltwater barra generally get released into my ice-box!

The Fly is a flash-tail rattle-rouser, simply Jon Cave's pattern with a big bunch of gold Krystal-Flash tied in at the tail. I used to use half Lateral-Scale and half Krystal-Flash but the former does not stand up to repeated casting and big munchies very well, so mostly Krystal-Flash these days. Tied on the Trey Coombes designed 4/0 Gamakatsu SL12S Big Game flyhook.

Early ties with gold Lateral-Scale in the tails.

Thanks again for your kind comments.
