I caught flathead on the clouser but from the boat,anyway it is one of the best saltwater fly.Because I dont have the boat, on this moment I also looking for some flats to try.I am thinking of camping in Bundeena, and have some fishing in the early morning, when the fish comes in the shallows.Also I thinking of Hen and Chicken bay to try one early morning someday.I lost my full box of saltwater flies during my one fishing,so I have to buy some (because my all tying stuff I left in overseas) ,though I prefer to fish on flies tied by myself.Yes Dear, floating line for flats of 5 feet depth i think is alright but if you would like to cast the fly into some deeper place or the water has waves on the surface,the better option would be the flyline with intermediate sinking tip.For example RIO Saltwater Tropical F/I is the good one.
