Flats FINISHED? Flathead Season Review
Ep 3 - Swan River Snapshots - FLATS ARE FINISHED - Changes in life have forced me out of flats fishing for the time being. A massive shame, but flathead catches were getting more and more difficult. While the season might be over for me, they’re still out there!
Join me for this week’s snapshot, as I look back on some of my more memorable flathead moments, as well as share a few key learnings I picked up along the way! I’ll still be fishing the Swan River, but not as frequently, and I’m turning my sights to other species!
ABOUT THE SERIES:
In Swan River Snapshots, I move around the mighty Swan River, fishing brief sessions. Not every angler has hours to spend, so my hope for this series is to chuck in a line when I can, narrow my focus and answer some questions that our magnificent river has left me with.

Cheers mate. They're bar-tailed flathead - found all over the Swan River.
hey mate I've recently been to point walter twice for flatties but had no success at catching any even after i spent hours each session working the flats. Some people told me that winters not the time for it but I'd still like to give it a go. Do you have any tips as what i could try to increase my chances at this time of the year?

Hey mate, Flathead are always around, but harder to catch in winter. The cold water forces them deeper and I've found while I can still get the odd one, I have to work a whole lot harder than I would in summer (I prefer to target other species in winter anyway). I'd say try to fish in relatively narrower parts of the river near steeper drop-offs to get your casts deeper amongst them. Beyond that, it's the usual stuff - stay mobile, fan your casts and hope for the best! Thanks for watching and let me know how you get on!
Great video! Do you have any good spots you can recommend?

Thanks mate. When I did fish for them, I didn't have set spots (ranger put a stop to a few!). Like I said in the vid, Upper Canning holds heaps.
