Naughty Mick - West Branch



Date: 8 January 2017
Weather: Hot and sunny
Crew: Dave, Easty
Target Fish: Trout
Bait: Fly - Royal Stimulator #14, Parachute Adams (High Vis) #12, Klinkhammer #14
Catch: 2 browns, 4 rainbows
Report: After a 6.5 km hike we arrived to find the west branch a little uninspiring, and thought 'perhaps we should have hit some of the glorious water we passed on the drive up'. Had a bite to eat, geared up and jumped in. Easty had a keen look in the first pool hit with the Royal. The smaller Klinkhammer did the trick on the next pool. Ended up a cracking session, with solid action at every pool we hit.
Saw a (red belly black??) snake on the walk in, and a wild dog and lyrebird on the drive out. All up an absolutely cracking day. 
Report: 9/10
