Mountains have been getting quite a bit of rain lately, which is obviously good for the rivers, flora an so on, but for us fishermen never ending rain can soon become pretty annoying. We were really close on cancelling this trip when the forecast showed 20mm of rain and rather thought going having
Now after bass fishing got slow, it was time to get back onto trout rivers in the Central West. Went back to my usual stomping grounds and to my surprise found that the river is running way lower than previous couple of years. Also not much insect activity happening for some reason, as I was expecting
It was pretty nice to take a boat on the Sydney Harbour this gorgeous summer day. We were hoping to get amongst kingfish at some point but it being a Saturday harbour became so crazy busy by the lunch time I was happy to land anything really. Even pulling out kawhai out of the school wasn’t
This time we made a solid effort to drive deep into the mountains, trying to find an access to one of the remote rivers there. First day we spent driving around through state forests and getting lost a few times, spending a night just at the random campsite in the National Park, which wasn’t

So I took my chances to capture some of the eats on film and it turned out pretty good I think. Please take a look and I hope you’ll enjoy the short film.
For the second winter hiking trip I decided to go to the same river I went couple weeks ago, but a bit further down stream to a more familiar access spot this time. The hike was much easier but also much longer too. Weather has been warming up for the last week or so, and it wasn’t clear if
One might think that winter time is a down time for trout fishermen. But fortunately not for the really keen ones. After many years planning on going to this river and after some peoples advices for some access spots I tied some winter patterns, bought a new sleeping mattress and headed deep into
Had a couple of friends visiting Sydney recently, so we made a plan to go check out few places I normally fish in the Blue Mountains and just go for some random exploring. We had high expectations considering that fishing in Central West/Blue Mountains area has been red hot this year. The reality
