Date: 12 Nov 2015
Weather: Sunny
Crew: Dave, Ross
Target Fish: Trout
Bait: - Fly - Royal Stimulator #12 ( with Copper John Nymph), Celtas, Rapala CD5
Catch: 2 browns, 2 rainbows
Report: Early Sunday morning session, starting off at the section just downstream of the first campsite. Managed one hook-up on the nymph, losing the little guy during the aerial performance. 

Went back to the trusty old farm spot, which produced a couple of healthy looking fish. I suspect Ross' next big purchase will be a fly outfit.

Tangip

Date: 15 Nov 2015
Weather: Sunny
Crew: Dave
Target Fish: Trout
Bait: - Fly - Royal Stimulator #12 ( with Copper John Nymph)
Catch: 3 browns, 3 rainbows
Report: Had another crack at the spot where I got the car stuck, decided to walk in this time. Stumbled across a nice little feeder stream that was absolutely teaming with fish (see if you can spot one of the buggers in the second pic - he was actually chasing a little brown around that pool). The main river was a lovely stretch of water, with plenty of healthy fish. Looking forward (as always) to hitting again!

Tassie Streams

Date: 6-9 Nov 2015
Weather: Sunny

Crew: Dave, Easty
Target Fish: Trout
Bait: - Fly - Royal Stimulator #12 ( with Copper John Nymph), Parachute Adams #12
Catch: 9 browns
Report: Trip was looking very promising early on, managing 3 very nice looking fish within 20 mins of pulling the car up at the campsite next to the river. Streams hit include the St Patricks River, Cambden Rivulet, Patersonia Rivulet, North Esk River and Nile River. All streams produced fish except the Patersonia, which I attribute to heavy handed fishing. Looking forward to getting down there again for some more exploring.

Tangip

Date: 4 Nov 2015
Weather: Sunny
Crew: Dave

Target Fish: Trout
Bait: - Fly - Royal Stimulator #12 ( with Copper John Nymph), Parachute Adams #12
Catch: 1 brown
Report: I have come to the conclusion this is my favorite river in Victoria. It rarely produces big bags of fish, but I always leave pondering when I can next get back. This time I was intending to try a new stretch, further upstream on the west side. This led me to finally find the Camry's off-roading limit, getting stuck on a ridge. After some creative use of my jack, I headed back to a familiar stretch. Only managed one brown before the heavens opened. Can't wait to get back there!

Ronnies Creek

Date: 24 Oct 2015
Weather: Sunny
Crew: Dave, Easty
Target Fish: Trout
Bait: - Fly - Royal Stimulator #12 ( with Copper John Nymph), Parachute Adams #12
Catch: 2 rainbows, 1 brown
Report: Session was looking good early one, with a nice brown taking the nymph in the first 10 minutes. Pretty slow going for the next couple of hours. Easty succeeded with the 'catch a cray by hand' challenge, not before the little bugger let him know he was a force to be reckoned with. Easty also managed to pull 2 solid rainbows from a nice run.
