ORRSOME 105CM FROM THE BANK

From the Orrs, Tony and Rebecca

Been a while, apologies for lack of communication, been traveling back and forth to Qld.

Did manage to get down to the Ross River with the 9-wt during a rainy day and scored 3 barra: a 75 and a 95 cm at Black Weir in the morning,.....

95cm from Black Weir

..... then after a big midday downpour I managed a 105 cm specimen in the afternoon. Fishing from the bank amongst tight riverbank structure and overhanging paperbarks, I had to keep that afternoon fish within about 15 metres or lose him to the sunken trees.

105 cm from the bank and amoungst the paperbarks!!

 Absolutely brutal white-knuckle fly-fishing, almost straightened the 4/0 Gamakatsu!

All were taken on that flash-tail rattle-rouser that I like to tie, its a very useful dirty-water fly for barra.

Anyway, back in town for a while now so will try to keep in touch more regularly.

Cheers all

Tony (& Rebecca)
