Freshwater Flats Fishing By Neil Schultz.
The term “flats fishing” generally conjures images of tropical beaches and chrome hued saltwater sportfish. Essentially that description is fairly accurate although marine flats fishing is of course not limited to the tropics. It’s the increased clarity of tropical waters that make them more flats fishing friendly, enhancing the sight fishing aspect of the flats experience.

Barra like this would make any angler happy. Graham landed this one, hooked in just 1m of water with the trusty CA1156 Ugly Stik.
It may surprise many barra anglers to hear that there are also flats fishing opportunities in freshwater lakes. This is not classic flats angling. It doesn’t involve sight fishing except on the rarest occasion but is does occur on shallow expanses of water. The scenario is similar on several of Queensland’s outstanding stocked barra lakes. Much impoundment barra fishing involves searching creek channels, substantial snags or points in main lake basins. When circumstances are favourable we can also fish for these big barra in water less than two metres in depth in areas often overlooked by anglers.
