University Other Tributary

Date: 20 Sep 2015
Weather: Sunny
Crew: Dave
Target Fish: Trout
Bait: - Fly - Royal Stimulator #14 (initially with Copper John Nymph), Parachute Adams #14
Catch: 2 little browns, 1 rainbow
Report: Another new river. Very nice little stream, with easy access. Debris in water is just about on the limit of what I will tolerate. First fish took the Stimulator that had nymph suspended, so decided to drop the nymph. Other two fish took Para. Saw a platypus! Will hit again

Rating: 7/10

Target Fish: Trout
Bait: - Fly - Royal Stimulator #14
Catch: 1 little brown (1 take, and 1 hookup)
Report: Season opener! Tried a new river in a region where I've not had much success. Was looking really good early on, but the river became more overgrown with every step upstream. A couple of good lessons:
- If your not sure what you have sighted is a fish or a leaf, assume its a fish!
- Always have a strike strategy
This spot has been on my list for a while, but probably wouldn't hit again. Looks like there might be a few 4WD trails...
