As probably everyone’s aware we had stupidly long periods of rain in the last year. Here’s some few photos from the trip where we braved the conditions and tried to look for some clear water in the Blue Mountains and prove to ourselves that it is possible to catch fish in any kind of weather.
Decided to take my kayak out for a spin just in front of my house and it turned out to be a pretty good little session on a Parramatta river. Blue skies and couple of decent size bream to the net, probably couldn’t ask for more on a lazy day like this, just in between drinks and food.
Suddenly we had a period of this pretty reasonable weather so I’ve been watching river water flow charts carefully everyday and keeping an eye on how rivers are looking in different parts of the state. As soon as I noticed one of my favourite bass river water level drop to about 1m I thought
Another trip and another soaking weekend in the mountains. This rain just wouldn’t stop. But fish don’t seem to care. Another few nice rainbows and a few brownies to the net. Can imagine fishing will be red hot when this rain stops and water clears up tiny bit.
This was the only one trip I did this year to chase bass out of the packraft mainly due to most bass rivers being blown out this season. There was a window of a good weather at some point so I decided to bite a bullet and give it a go. There was a steep walk in and out to access the river and a hot
No matter how much I love catching a fish, or just spending a day walking a riverbank I do also love to explore the mountains just with the camera in my hands. These are some images I’ve taken while getting to my regular fishing spots and capturing anything I see on my way. You can never know
After having a pretty good session on the tinny creek few weeks ago I decided to give this other river a go I had on the list for a while. After arriving to the spot I was pleasantly surprised, as it seemed like the river hadn’t got affected by the floods at all and it was running nice and clear.
This summer has been ridiculous in New South Wales. Some areas experienced two or even three major floods, and as off today the rain still keeps on falling. I had big doubts about the trip to the Blue Mountains, but thought if even the little creeks will be blown out I might just go and take photos
Got to spend a few days camping and fishing up in the high country during summer holiday season. It’s a bit of a difference experience compared to other times of the year when we would normally go. After all the rain NSW has been getting, the hills are lush and green and covered in striving
Second part of the day with Kenny continued after a quick flick on a flooded main river. With having not much success, as the water visibility was pretty poor, and apart from couple of rises we didn’t see much insect or fish activity, we decided to hit the smaller streams instead. Now it was
