Fry imitation
Mullet Fry Fly
Late-summer fry essential
Sea bassSubsurface
A scaled fry imitation tied to match juvenile mullet shoaling in harbours and estuary mouths. Late-summer and autumn essential.
Fish this when
Bass shadowing mullet shoals or smashing fry in harbour corners and marina backwaters. One of the most reliable autumn bass scenes.
Why it works
Matches local fry size precisely. Most bass fail to take fry imitations because the angler tied on a fly twice the size of the actual prey.
