Fly Fishing Oman, Arabian Bream
Hunting early season Arabian bream on Oman’s rugged al Wusta coast is sight casting at its finest. Knowing where to look and how to see these fish is the first step.
Reviving a flyline
Bringing life back into a flyline is tricky and all dependant upon how 'cracked' or dry the line is. If you see micro spidering cracks or can peel away the flyline with mild pressure from you fingernail, you've got a flyline most useful for tying up grapevines or stringing onions and popcorn to dry... However, if the line has been stored in a dark, cool place for 2 years, you have a chance of restoring it. Here's my 4-part method:
Stimulator
In my opinion, the Stimulator is one of the best flies for using as an indicator. It floats high, is super buoyant, and mimics a large range of bug species.
Get an elevated view
Try and get an aerial or elevated view of the water you are going to fish.
If there is weed under the water, from your wading position it might look like a solid carpet of weeds, but there are always...

Find holes in your neoprenes
If you get a small leak in your neoprenes, the hole can be very difficult to locate. Take the radical road and fill the neoprenes with water! The water pressure will force out drops of water at almost any leak. Should no water seep out, try inverting the waders 'filling the outside' with water, pressing through to the inside.

Foam beetles have been around for ages, and there really isn't anything new here. In fact I am sure many people have used ice dubbing before instead of peacock hurl.
