Nice article about Kaukonahua stream here. It sounds like the water might be too high with all this rain.

http://s3.postimage.org/34vcv056s/photo.jpg Here is the exact fly I used. Basically stripping on the surface. I may try this same fly at Ala Wai canal with a stainless steel leader and attempt to hook a small barracuda. The flies I brought from California don't seem to be effective. Maybe it's the ...

http://s3.postimage.org/34uppha9w/tilapia2_on_fly.jpg http://s3.postimage.org/34urd0mro/tilapia_on_fly.jpg Thanks to everyone for this discussion.

From my research, there are different types of tilapia and depending on the location, they will eat different types of foods. I suspect that the on...

Flies for Tilapia?

I would like to catch small tilapia with flies. At this point, either surface or sub-surface would be fine. I've tried with beadhead nymphs, black ants, woolly bugger, caddis attractor, and mosquito.

type of fly

What type of fly and retrieve technique are people using? I'm actually in California now, but am originally from Hawaii and will be at Lake Wilson in a couple of weeks.
