Tyenna again

13 -- nothing of size. Was fishing for two nice fish when another fisherman walked up to me -- straight along the edge of the pool, scaring away the fish. Etiquette for fishermen seems to have disappeared.

Lukes first on the fly

Took Luke to Four Springs.  Luke had fished a lot, and is an excellent fisherman.  But he had never caught a fish on a fly.

I gave him the 5 weight and an intermediate line with a Mrs Simpson fly.

After 15 minutes I got a touch from a good fish.  A bit later Luke got a good hit.  Then Luke saw a swirl and got into casting position.  The fish took, and it was a spectacular first fish.  3lb, in PERFECT condition.  An amazing fish!!!!

First Atlantic

A fantastic day. 20 fish, plus lost another 20. 1x 4.5lb. Lost a 3lb. All others were a pound or smaller. Got my first Atlantic salmon -- 3 of them!!!

 

 

 

 

Tyenna again

A slow day. But did get a 3lb fish on the 3 weight. 3 other fish, mostly small.

Broke 4 springs

Luke took Paul and myself out on his boat at 4 springs.  No fish.  Obviously, 4 springs has no fish in it -- as it couldn't be a problem with us.

Spin fishers

Got 4 and lost 2. Twice had spin fishers move right up to me -- they just didn't spot the car in the carpark or the fisherman standing by the tree casting!!!! One had a good excuse -- he was working down the bank, and so didn't see me until close. He still started casting about 20' away from me though!!!

A good day

9 fish.  Including one in the feeder creek to a nymph that was 'dapped'.

First Fish for the Season

Landed 3, lost 6. A bunch of spin fishers pulled up as I was rigging up and proceeded to walk right into my favourite pool. And a tree had fallen down and segmented the junction. However, look carefully and you can see two fish in the stream. I landed the smaller one off a bow and arrow cast from behind the pair.

Four Springs

Four Springs with Shane. Shane got a small rainbow -- I didn't even see a fish. Picture courtesy of Shane.

First Bream on the Fly!

High tide, at Geilston Bay.  Using an olive woolly bugger.  two bream in total.
