ACTFF Feb Trip

Back up to the G for the ACTFF trip, had a great time. Somewhere between 80 and 100 fish for the weekend between 6 anglers, including 2 for Jeremy, his first fish on fly, that he saved until his last session to get.

Long live the Puffing Billy

Like an old friend

Got to go and debut the new cane rod on a special little river, the first one I caught a trout in, it was a little like visiting an old friend. We also tried a spot that we hadn't been to before as well.

Totalled 16 for the day, about 11 on one fly (a Muz Wilson Wee Creek Hopper) and the rest on a red Stimulator. Blake managed about 13 or so, we both totalled around 30 for the day. They ranged from 4" to 13", the most satisfying coming from a sipper under a gorse bush, the biggest coming from a pool near the car near dark.

The G.


The rod loads nice...


Pulled a couple from this spot.




The lucky debutante, the first for the new rod








The biggest for the day, 13" late in the day, gave the rod a good work out, the best I've seen come from the river so far...


Getting his breath back after the release.

On the drive...

A couple of photos from the drive down to debut the cane rod. The little fella in the bottom couple of shots is playing around about 100 yards from the Hume Hwy.
