Finding Clean water

Let's face it if the fish can't see your fly its game over. Finding clean water in harbours can be difficult at times. Especially in the day when the wind has stirred up the shallows. Here are some things to consider

 

  1. Fish first thing in morning before the wind gets up
  2. Fishing high tide
  3. The incoming is cleaner than the outgoing
  4. Offshore winds are better than onshore
  5. Wind direction v tide direction
  6. How muddy is the estuary
  7. Fish closer to the mouth. The higher you go in the harbour the murkier the water
