I heard of a fly called the "sewage fungus" fly a cpl years ago - used to target mullet feeding around the outflow pipe from the hatchery at the salmon research place in Newport - dirty green lump of fluff apparently, very appropriately named as well, and since thats what the mullet were feeding on - sh*t from the hatchery :roll: - also very successful (quite a few specimens taken on fly. Not sure how it would work in the estuary situation!
Its called fishing, not catching. If it was called catching it wouldn't be fishing!

Mullet flies
One of the best flies for mullet that is currently very successful is one called the green deceiver- this one seems to work most consistantly. Made from bright green Marabou.
There are others (about six which also do catch them). I cant post an image but if you do need any of the flies i can PM them to you.
