Fishing Update

Admittedly I have been a bit slack in maintaining my fishing records in the last couple of months. This is not due to a lack of fishing reports, but only to a bit of laziness on my behalf. Here are some events that might or might not have happened...

1. NSFFC Trip to Lake Eucumbene, Australia Day 2010

Fishing wise this was a tough trip with not many fish caught. After putting in a lot of hours on the lake I was rewarded with a couple of "football" rainbows. Thankfully river fishing was much easier. Fishing new waters on the Bidgee was awesome fun with regular takes on hopper patterns and numerous fish spotted. The highlight of the trip was seeing Dicko hook and land his PB trout, a 5 pound brown. It was a beautifully coloured fish, great work mate!


2. NSFFC Trip to Timberlake, Valentine's Day 2010???

Fishing on Valentine's day, yeah I am one lucky man. Thanks babe.

This was my first time targeting natives and a real opportunity for an encounter with the monster of the Australian freshwater fish species. Over the weekend I met many a new faces and learned as much as I could about fly fishing for natives. My efforts were rewarded with a small cod that nailed a whistler. This little fella was never going to break any records for its size, but being my first cod on a fly it brought out a huge smile on my face. Mission accomplished, new specie on a fly!


This must have been its momma , maybe next time...
