Had a pleasure to meet and get some tips and advices from one of the biggest legends in fly casting world – Simon Gawesworth. Simon is mostly known for being a Sage, Redington and Rio ambassador. Flyshops all over the world are full of his books and DVDs, Youtube is loaded with his casting
The last week of the season couldn’t have ended any better. Coffee and pie at the Mountain High Pies shop were delicious as usual. The colorful leaves mostly fallen off the trees by now, meant that winter is almost here. Managed to trick couple of browns later that day. Next day started with
Had to get out to the mountains desperately. Work has been super busy so needed to clear up my head and take a good breath of the fresh air instead of the usual city smoke. Trout season was coming to an end so this trip was supposed to be my last one for the year to the Snowy Mountains. Packed up
It’s so good when the local creeks are fishing well. Had a really good couple of weekends fishing my usual spots but also getting some nice fish out of the stretches I had never fished before. So that’s always rewarding. This is a strange time of a year, some fish might be in the spawning

Another post about me trying out my packraft and continuing paddling rivers around Sydney. So far been pretty happy with this little thing, it takes me to places that probably never seen people before. Now just matter of getting out of Sydney and maybe trying to find some bigger specimens, which means
This year I dodged a bullet and purchased myself a packraft so I could potentially use it to chase some bass. Packraft sounded to me like a more convenient option than owing a proper hard top kayak. It doesn’t take up pretty much any space in the garage when stored stuffed in a bag, also weighs
Oh…my love and hate relationship with the Blue Mountains. I think I get skunked most of the time when I’m trying to fish any of the rivers up there. But then after thousands and thousands of casts, endless kilometers walked, for some reason or no reason at all stars align you land a trophy.
