G’day Cathie & Roger:
Had a bit of fun over the break, visited daughter in Sydney and sundry relatives around Brisbane, but found time to cast a fly occasionally.
Caught a few trout, best was a nice brown (photo attached) from Lake Lyall near Lithgow.
Fishing with the new 5-weight amongst sunken black-wattle at the time, pretty lucky to get it to grass really. Had to give up on the dry fly because of shoreline wave action from all the wake-boarders and ski-boats (!) and resorted to a #10 Alexandra...and those blackberries in the back-cast are a bitch!!
Also ‘discovered’ bass on the flyrod, nearly as good as barra on the light gear. Might have to plan a serious trip to target them from canoes...
Short story up on the web for those who are bored enough to read my ramblings: http://www.marrakai-adventure.com.au/F_RecentObsession.html (see next blog)
Anyway, hope you had a great Christmas and the New Year brings plenty of takes and a minimum of snags!
Cheers
Tony (& Rebecca)
