Another great video Steve! I noticed you were using a yellow cicada, two weeks ago in the Nepean Gorge with Glenn I started with a black cicada with mixed results but a change to a yellow one worked a treat!
Thanks Michael! Yeah the yellow ones have been working well for me this season, they are a bit more easily visible in the shade. I think the belly colour is most important for the fish though, I’ve been tying these ones with a more mottled belly, mix of olive and tan which seems to be matching this years cicadas pretty well. :)
Thanks Kayleb! It’s a 7 weight Sage Payload, need a bit of grunt to throw cicadas as they are a bit bulky and wind resistant. Ps I haven’t forgotten if you’re still keen to come for a fish?
Thanks Peter! Yeah it’s very similar in many ways to Barra fishing, minus the huge size but with the added bonus of surface dry fly eats…..definitely the best practice for southerners wanting to go Barra fishing! :)
Thanks Rick! Yes I'm getting them all on my cicada pattern at the moment. That's awesome that you have a wadeable spot, it's not easy to find good land based bass water for fly. I have fished one of the tributaries of the Shoalhaven for bass a couple of times, it was really good actually... :)
im thinking of going on a bass fly fishing trip to nsw in late march (from SA) but have no idea which part of nsw to go for them ahah struggling to find info on good river systems and impoundments to target them, awesome video as always brother
Thanks mate! Depending on how far you want to travel, there are some wonderful bigger river systems in mid-northern NSW, rivers like the Macleay or Clarence are probably the prime bass waters especially for larger fish. Having said that, there are plenty of other nice rivers too. Will you have a boat or kayak?
@prizmatik8696 land based is hard for bass (in the rivers anyway), there's not many areas that are suitable. Generally you want to be in the middle of the river, casting at the shady banks as that's where the bass usually are. I'd highly recommend bringing a kayak....
Hi Adriano, it's a 7 weight. I've done a video on what rod and line I like to use for bass, you can find it here: ua-cam.com/video/l-aS39pg2YU/v-deo.html Cheers! :)
You are producing some high quality easy watching content. Love the fly fishing….
Thanks Jens! Much appreciated mate! :)
Thanks for sharing. Reminds me of smallmouth fishing here in the US.
Ah thanks! Yes I've been told smallmouth are a lot of fun, would love to fish for them one day! :)
Awesome Peachy, great video. Thanks
Thanks Malcolm! Glad you liked it! :)
Great video as per usual Peachy lots of good fish and information.
Thanks Pete! Glad you enjoyed it mate! :)
Wonderful video. Steve! Love watching you pound those banks. Spot on casting. Cheers, mate!
Thanks Cory! Yeah it’s a really fun way to fish, very different to trout fishing but so much fun…thanks for watching mate. :)
Great stuff Steve !! Looks like a wonderful day out fishing
Thanks Cam! Yes it was, we caught a ton of fish and quite a few really nice ones....always good when they are on the chew! :)
Great stuff Peachy.

Another great video Steve 👍
Thanks mate! Enjoyed making this one very much! :)
Top session mate. Few donkeys there.
Thanks mate! Yeah it was a great day actually, got heaps more than showed in the video.....spot probably looks familiar? ;)
A master at work! Awesome video Peachy, really enjoyed that master class! What weight setup are you using?
Thanks Kayleb! It’s a 7 weight Sage Payload, need a bit of grunt to throw cicadas as they are a bit bulky and wind resistant. Ps I haven’t forgotten if you’re still keen to come for a fish?
Awesome video mate
Thanks mate, much appreciated! :)
Great action - love hearing those cicadas on a river. We fished tidal Barra up north so why not bass? Another winner mate!
Thanks Peter! Yeah it’s very similar in many ways to Barra fishing, minus the huge size but with the added bonus of surface dry fly eats…..definitely the best practice for southerners wanting to go Barra fishing! :)
@@PeachyFlyFishing Now I’m thinking about EP’s and black bream in the Shoalhaven….
Yes! Some great bass fishing down there too actually... :)
Love it Peachy! I fish for them wading a tidal creek down here in the Shoalhaven.
Are you getting those on the Peachy Cicada?

@@PeachyFlyFishing wanting to go land based as that's just personal preference for me but might bring a kayak just in case
was considering checking out some rivers central coast area for them but have no idea how access is around there ahah@@PeachyFlyFishing

@prizmatik8696 for access spots, if you look me up on Insta or FB and DM me I can point you to a few spots on the central coast.
What weight rod?
