The average flats fish here is between 65cm and 75cm and numbers of kings are going downhill. I know because I wade the flats fly fishing for kings nearly every day between the beginning of October until the end of May. Each year, my hours per king increases and I catch fewer as each season passes and I see fewer riding short tails. A lot more are being released by recreational anglers these days but their numbers are dropping. I would expect the flats fish to be constantly replenished from outside, but this doesn't seem to be making a difference. Thanks for your reply. Cheers |
