Weather: Sunny
Crew: Dave
Target Fish: Trout
Bait: - Fly - Royal Stimulator #14,
Gear Used: Sage Approach 4w, 9'
Catch: 0
Report: I had an unsuccessful session at this spot a couple of years ago, and had thought for a while I should have another go. The low water suggested I'd left it too late in the season. Did see a couple of fish, including a very nice sized brown. Saw a turtle - a first! (see if you can spot in the pic). Will hit again.

Licola - Macalister River

Date: 16 April 2017

Weather: Partly Cloudy
Crew: Toon
Target Fish: Trout
Bait: - Celta Spinner,
Gear Used: Spinning outfit

Catch: N/A
Report: Headed up to Licola to camp a few nights. Fished the Macalister river that joins from the caledonia river. Some decent sized pools as you walk down the macalister. No insect action at all, no fish jumping. As a result, no bites or hook ups. Pretty quiet, but special area nonetheless.

Date: 8 April 2017

Weather: Sunny
Crew: Dave
Target Fish: Trout
Bait: - Fly - Royal Stimulator #14,
Gear Used: Sage Approach 4w, 9'

Catch: 1 Brown, 1 Rainbow
Report: Had planned on heading north east for the weekend, but the prospect of storms and heavy rains meant a rethink. The revised plan was to stay local - fish a few hours, then have a riverside fire and cook up with kellie. Managed to land an absolute monster brown, which I can only assume was an escapee from the nearby trout farm. Got the fire started, and then the mother nature unleashed hell.

Whooray

Date: 26 March 2017
Weather: Sunny
Crew: Dave
Target Fish: Trout
Bait: - Fly - Parachute Adams Hopper #14,

Gear Used: Orvis Superfine Carbon 3wt, 7'6"

Catch: 1 Brown
Report: Fishing here supports my theory its not about numbers, but the quality of fishing. Only managed one brown, which required some delicate sneaky casting. Was the first session with my new prescription polarised sunnies, which were an absolute game changer. I reckon I'll give this spot a solid work over next season.
