Royal Bird

 Date: 11 Oct 2014 
Weather: Sunny
Crew: Dave
Target Fish: Trout
Bait: - Fly - Parachute Adams #12, Elk Hair Caddis #14
Berley: None 
Catch: 1 Rainbow, 2 Browns
Report: Arrived at about 2PM, action was pretty consistent. Got busted off after a perfect cast right against the bank. Lost another (poor hook set) in the same spot as last time. All fish caught were sighted feeding. Had a lot of looks, and 3 landings - one being an absolute pearler. Time to get a net.

Creek Near Dave's House

Date: 8 Oct 2014
Weather: Sunny
Crew: Dave, Mischke
Target Fish: Carp
Bait: Corn
Berley: None
Catch: 1 Carp - 2.5 kg 
Report: Was taking the dog for a walk down by the creek and saw some carp feeding hard. Raced home and grabbed a rod and tin of corn, raced back, baited, cast...30 seconds...BANG. Dog started barking at all the commotion in the water, must have thought I chucked something in cos she jumped in the water and started chasing the fish! I had to steer this monster fish away from all the vegetation and my dog! Very chaotic but good fun!

Young Buck

Date: 4 Oct 2014 
Weather: Sunny
Crew: Dave
Target Fish: Trout
Bait: - Fly - Royal Stimulator #12, Copper John Nymph, Parachute Adams #12
Berley: None 
Catch: Zilch
Report: Camping weekend, managed to get out for a flick on Saturday afternoon and early Sunday morning. Saw one fish Saturday afternoon and that was it. Tried a bunch of combos - didn't even get a look. Lots of spent spinners on the surface - and no feeding. This is my third go at this river and the fishing has always been disappointing. Saw a platypus swimming down stream.
