Can you catch mullet on beadheads or other nymphs?
we’ve done it by chumming them w/ dry oatmeal and throwing similar colored flies. basically a small tuft of tan marabou on an extremely sharp hook. they will wear out a 4wt:smiley:. A hares ear is prob the right color too.
Snagged one on a crab pattern once. I had been casting to a huge school for about 30 minutes. Thought they were reds. Man they stink when they get big!
just googled mullet on the fly and was bombarded. there is a danish dvd that goes into it. http://www.globalflyfisher.com/reviews/books/bookbase/show_single.php?id=126
they are talking about using 8wts!
Thanks for the info. I false hooked one (about 20") last friday night on a clouser. It was a hard fighting fish. You could see them under the dock lights in schools. I’ll keep you posted if i figure out how to catch them. Your the second person to tell me about chumming for them.
email me your address and I’ll tie/mail you a few patterns.
