And this could be fished dry on the ground next to their nest? What weight rod would you recommend and how many kilometres of backing? Unless you'll lend me a couple of k's of your copper wire and wait for the lightning to electrocute the hooked fowl?Originally Posted by Jasper
Have you tried a mealie pip on a #8 hook (barbless of course!) .... opens up a whole new world of FLY (pun intended) fishing!!!!

a 5wt is FINE for your average fowl ... but if you want a Spurwing Goose or maybe an Ostrich I recommend at least a 12 wt!!
Remember to point your rod in the opposite direction to the direction it moves off ... i.e point it DOWN!!
(one of course is also reminded of the classic English poacher method of raisins soaked in whiskey .... makes it possible to pick up those pheasant!)

I've hooked many swans on the Thames in my yoof, also a couple of flying seagulls in Melbourne (not sporting to hook them on the ground..)
