Arrived back in Oz a couple of days ago with serious
withdrawal symptoms through lack of fishing for the last month so a trip out to
Corroboree was deemed the correct medicine.
5.00am departure sure confirmed that the “Dry” has arrived,
13 degrees going through the Humpty and thick mist over the Adelaide flood
plains. Tip of the day: “Don’t leave home without the car heater!”

| Early morning mist |
Smooth dirt into the ramp and one boat already on the water.
Launched the boat into clean water alive with baitfish and tarpon and looking
good with LOTS of lilies lining all the banks. Not far from the ramp presented
a Wayne Hinton slider fly (10 years old) into the lilies and was rewarded with
the first of 8 Saratoga (largest 62cms) on the second cast. Togas were
everywhere with more being lost to the lilies than being boated, great fun.

The waterway is looking great, albeit more lilies than normal for this time of the year. Found plenty of Togas and Tarpon. Barra a little scarce but hooked one and heard heaps deep in the lilies and under the floating grass.

We are just so lucky to have such a waterway so close to us.
Remember: “You’ll never never know, if you never never go.
Get out there and fish.”
