Report: Started one of the tight upper reaches of the hot box in the late arvo. Had a few rises that didn't convert to hookups. Sat morning had a quick poke of the upper hot box, then on to the main hot box, then over to the upper keys. Fishing was generally slow going. Sunday hit the hot box, and action seemed to be picking up. Be careful of wasp nests when picking blackberries. Found a geocache treasure which was pretty cool.

Report: 7/10

Report: Tried a new section, needed to bush bash 100 m or so from the road to the river. Was pretty overgrown, so decided to go back to the road bridge. Water was clear, and managed to sight, cast and catch a few fish. Was very hot. Tasty burger on the way home. Need new boots.
