Great vid. Thanks for producing them. Invaluable resource.
I’m just back from my first GT trip and totally hooked, and would love to be better prepared next time with this fab collection of flies.
Awesome video guys. Very informative. I now have a good understanding of what to tie for my 2020 GT trip. Thanks!
Thanks for sharing. It's very informative. I will follow those patterns Cheers!
Headed to CXI on 4/1/19. Thank you for this and the other informational videos.
I absolutely love your UA-cam channel. Please continue producing informative clips like this. I watch these during lunch breaks and it takes me off to far away places I cannot wait to visit and fish one day. Your personality is absolutely magnetic and genuine. Do you have clients from the United States?
Thanks so much! We just got the channel back after it was hacked 2 months ago, we’re back!
Brilliant video. It's great to have filling mill on board producing flies that the average fly tyier cannot produce..Well done Peter and thank you Filling Mill. Be wonderful to add these to my collection.
I would be chuffed to bits to win these amazing flies , no matter how much fly tying material i buy from Fulling Mill my flies can not in any way match up to these beauties , i am off to Christmas Island in November and would be fantastic to catch a G.T on one . Massive thank you to Peter and his team organising the trip for us and i promise i will share with my fishing buddy .
Headed to Christmas Island in a month and have been dreaming of GTs for years. Nothing would be better than putting some of the best GT flies on earth to good use!!
Amazing, really cools flies. I have never been GT fishing but it is on my bucket list in near future. It will be nice to have some pro flies in my box. Thank you very much for all the info about flies. Tight lines. Much love.
very useful Information. Great flies also for other species. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us. Tight lines.
GT is on my check list since a long time ! This box would definetly help to get closer to my goal !!
My first saltwater trip is approaching in August. Kiritimati is the destination and I can't wait tease out a few GTs. I'n expecting it to be difficult but that box of flies would come in handy and give me a wide range to try. Thanks for the video!
Great video. Thanks for sharing. Just retired and have trips planned to CXI, Providence, Farquhar, Wessels, and Baja for roosters. Sure could use a fine selection of these top ten flies. :-)
Awesome info fellas!
Great info thanks! Despite chasing Geets in a few places now, I’ve not heard of some of your flies, especially the shrimp/crab type patterns. Can’t wait to try some this spring in Indonesia, if you send them my way😉
heading to cxi in june....love to try them there...cheers
I'm off to Mozambique this year and I would love the opportunity to cast these flies at the GTs and the other top-water predators in the canyons along the Mozambique Channel.
Hi, guys, first gt trip coming up this year, done my research and fulling mill flies look the best, would love to use these flies.
Are there recipes for tying these flies? I'm particularly interested in the gym sock but can't find any resources on line. Thanks
Would love to try/test them on my GT trip.👍
Hi guys, I hope I deserve these awesome flies because I just started saltwater fly fishing and I have never ever won anything before, so fingers crossed.
This is probably a question for Kirin. I noticed that your GT Clouser Minnow shown in the video was not tied with the normal bucktail tail. In fact it had no tail. it looked more like a very large Christmas Island Special. Is there a reason for this difference or was that not the fly you meant to grab? Thanks for the great fly info.
Hi there, for the GT clousers we don’t normally put a tail on them as the overall dressing becomes very long and GTs are not fussy when feeding on rays… anything that looks like it’s escaping is fair game…
@@AardvarkMcLeodFlyFishing Got it. Good info. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Hello Peter, great video. Any source for the Alex Roux Mantis Shrimp? I am building my GT collection, and Fulling Mills doesn't have it. Will be tying most the patterns as well.
Hi Dorothy, thanks for the comment but in all honesty I don’t have the dressing for that one.. I just used them...
@@AardvarkMcLeodFlyFishing Thanks Peter, I did find a few of them size 1/0, and 2/0 from FM in the UK, and also AOS Co. Good to have something to reference when tying them.
I'd love to win these. Im looking to explore some lesser known and affordable (for a 21 yr old student) GT fishing over in Indonesia next winter along with giving the Bass on the Welsh coast a hammering on the fly this year - I'd love to try some of these GT flies both here and in Indonesia. I check out Aardvark's videos each week and find them really interesting. Plus....I never seem to win online comps so, hey, it'd make my week to win something!
I´d get a kick out of it catching some fish with that nice collection, at least I´d cast them away trying to get a hit and not just throw them at the camera ;)
Thanks for the comment!
Great ties I would love the chance to fish them on our Barrier Reef Trevs and Gts and our Barramundi I think many would be highly successful.
Thank you Steve, glad it was useful and let us know if your successful!
As I've just started getting more serious about my Saltwater flyfishing experience but have done some . Always trying to get it. I'm retired guy so to have a set of these Flies would be a great asset to my flyfishing excursions and I'm retired so budget is a thing for old age dudes like me .
👍
wich fly box do you use fore gt flies ?
@@AardvarkMcLeodFlyFishing thanks!
Just booked my trip too Anaa Atoll , French Polynesia... I am sure the fish would love to feast on these delicious flies..Fingers crossed
I subscribed long time ago 😅.
Fulling Mill are gods! Please let me win these flies! I live in Utah, and I need to catch a GT instead of a dinky trout, it's my dream!
Fly design is actually engineering. I like that.
It certainly can be! Thank you for the comment..
Because I've never caught a GT and I'm saving to go in a year hopefully
Great video, as always!! How do you get those extremely flat profiles in the brush flies?
Hook sizes?
Mostly 6/0 with some 4/0 thrown in for good measure...
I'd love to win those and you could just hand them to me on the tarmac in Farquhar in two weeks!!!
I don't need the flies since I prefer tying my own. I just want to be one of the guys that get's to go on the trip! Please send me there! :D
I deserve them to when I can save up the money for a GT trip :)
Because I've never caught a GT and really to go fishing for them
I would love to win those flies i am coming up on 5 years clean from opiates i was prescribed to them after a surgery and then became addicted and fly fishing has really helped me so much im hoping to go on a trip next winter but where i live we have bluefin that get massive the commericial fishery gets 600-900 lbs fish every summer and ive seen 150-250lbs fish schooling close to the beach off a rock shoal
@@AardvarkMcLeodFlyFishing oh ya and its my birthday today too st padsys day
1st.
I deserve them because I brush my teeth every night before bed time and make my bed every morning.
I would like to win them because newbies deserve the proper ammo to take down monsters too.
What was the point of having the other guy even there. Just to hawk product? Waste of time. Eat the rich!
He provided all the flies… 😄
Maui Jim’s are better than Costas. Now box up the dam flies and ship them to the fishing capital of the world if you can find it...
