    I had a look on his web site and tied myself two before I went up on the last trip. I got the 80cm Barra on the Pink DK Dancer. Mate they hit it pretty hard.

    Paul Dolan is the man to talk to mate, his a Fly Specialist.

    The Pink Thing is a good fly that I have seen being used in the past... And my father tells me that the Hot Flash Minnow is a good one. Im really keen to get into Fly'ing... Add another Style to the Weaponry.

    Hi Guys,

    I've tied several DK Dancers and their action is very similar to that of soft plastics in some ways. If you have the basic knowledge and skills of soft plastics then you'll have the idea of how to work the DK Dancers.

    Having been doing sport fishing for around 8yrs now, I must admit for those new into Fly fishing, it is a buzz and will certainly help improve your soft plastic techniques and skills.

    Tie some gold bomber style DK Dancers, just like the hardbody cousins, but something about the gold bomber DK Dancer from the reports I've heard thus far, sends the barra absolutely nuts.

    My impression on closely looking at the fly, is not only the action the fly imparts, and the flash, but also the vibrations it would make through the water on the pause and on the strip.

    I've just used on on snapper in shallow reefs in Moreton Bay to see what they're like compared to the soft plastics, and boy I must say, they hit like a freight train!

    Good luck and certainly I'd like to thank Dolan and Kemp for creating such a wonderful fly for our conditions...... I have a great feeling it'll send a shiver overseas too.
