Hi all just a quick report - went fishing yesterday.
Weather Hot, Sunny and Dry. Temperature 85F, Strong southerly breeze to keep
tem from hitting 100... (note in Southern Hemisphere a Southerly is cool and
a Northerly breeze warm :-)= )
Arrived at Lake at about 11:00 am .. already hot... fished near car for
about an hour and a half waiting for my buddy to arrive. Since he was late I
walked down the other end of the Lake. Stopped and watched a Wallaby eating
and drinking in the shade for about 15 mins.. managed to get within 20 feet
before it hopped up the hill and watched me walk by .
Sat and watched for about ten minutes, but with no action, I drifted my
flies around over the weeds beyond the drop off. After about five minutes I
saw a trout inspect my dry fly, before swimming off. I switched to a Royal
Wulff (with wings DonO), and recast. 5 mins later another rainbow cruised
up and took the fly. I set the hook and landed and released him. Next cast
I hooked another, this time on a weighted flash back black and peacock.
By this time my mate had arrived and I saw him walking along the lake shore.
We went and sat in the shade and had an ice cold beer while he rigged up.
(Tip freeze a couple of water bottles, and put in a cooler bag with two cold
beers.. keeps em cold for a few hours...and then you can drink the water).
We resumed fishing and I manged to hook and land another 4.
A nice way to spend a summer afternoon..
Mitch
