Venue-conditioned surface fly
MulletSurface
The go-to pattern for mullet already feeding on floating bread in harbours, marinas and urban tidal water. A Colin MacLeod staple for any venue where bread-baiting is part of the method.
Fish this when
Mullet are visibly taking bread scraps from the surface. Harbours, marinas and slow tidal slicks. Static or dead-drifted — let the fly come to the fish.
Why it works
Mullet that have seen bread before recognise it confidently. A static foam or poly yarn profile sits in the window, matching what they are already eating.
