Flyfishing for Mullett

Hi all,

Can anybody tell me what sort of flyline to use for Mullett?
I did read somewhere that a finer diameter line would be a
better choice.Unable to locate same,just being told of the
different line-weights.

Thanks.

It's pretty much irrelevant - use a floating line and use a fine, light leader. That's the bit that's going to be near the fish anyway, not the actual flyline.

Locating the mullet, tempting them to feed, or matching what you think they are already feeding on is the biggest challenge.

plenty of info here

Thanks lads for all the tips - will try a lot harder next year when the
Mullett come back.

Regards,

Joe.

i use a size 14 hook, 6Ibs fluro carbon leader and use a peice of polystyrene and 2-3 wite maggots.
feed with bread and small amounts of maggots and some sweet corn

Thank's Dan,

Have you had much sucess with this method?

Regards,

Joe.

i use it when float fishing and have had all 3 grey mullet species on it but no reason why it shouldnt on the fly. it is probably more effective on the fly rod.
the key is to feed, if you get them in a frenzy they'll eat anything that looks like food it it just hooking them.

where did you get the golden grey, didn't realise you could get them up north?

millisle. all the mulet i had this year wer from millisle.
north down.
