Did an overnight hike into the Blue Mountains with a hope of finding a trout or two. Unfortunately all we could find was a carp swimming in a clear cold mountain stream. Good fun sight casting to it though. Watching that thing eat a fly and landing it on a 3 or a 5 weight always gets the blood pumping.
This winter on the North Island New Zealand was pretty damned good. I mean really good in terms of “fushing” of course, and skiing was pretty good as well I heard. But back to fishing now – it’s so easy no bush bashing no hiking required. So much different from a type of trout
My latest short video “When the Clouds Roll By” – a story of a mans journey through the changing seasons of the Snowy Mountains in a search of a late autumn brown trout. Tight lines! ✌️
Not a bad day chasing some rainbows out in Central West 2 hours drive from Sydney. I did not get a fish but Max managed to land a whopper. Some crazy weather about, quite cold in the morning and super windy on the lake, which made sightfishing a bit tricky. Good times
Had couple of good sessions in the Snowy Mountains just before general trout waters closed for the trout spawning. Tied a few new fly patterns that I wanted to try out this year and they seemed to be doing the trick just well. Most of the fish were caught on the those nymphs and maybe only one or
Over a month ago, I had a chance to take some photos for Aussie Flyfisher sponsored by and document Victoria’s day learning to flyfish and hopefully catching her first trout on fly. Thanks to an awesome guide Max, convincing us for an early start and putting Victoria onto a fish within first
Couple months ago, while trying to find an access to the Fish river on the Central West of NSW (this river is well known for running mostly through private properties) I stumbled across a sweet little spot that looked somehow familiar. I took couple of pictures, made a few casts before realising that
Just a quick post to share couple of pictures I’ve taken this year while exploring the Snowy and the Blue Mountains. Didn’t get to land too many fish, or anything of a decent size worth taking photos of, during the period from February up until end of May. Just did not have much luck on
This year I didn’t get out to chase bass as much as I would have liked to, and ended up doing more exploring than actual fishing. I did find a couple of new access points for the next year when I would bring my packraft along for an overnight hike. Also managed to find a pretty decent camping
Managed to put together a quick video from the bass fishing trip we did to the Mid North Coast couple of months ago. Just before things got quiet and bass moved all the way downstream to their spawning grounds. We were still able to get occasional hits off the top but most of the fish were already sitting deep in the water column and much more keen on hitting a bass vampire or a clouser type of fly.
