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
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.
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

Fishing for trout in the Blue Mountains has been really challenging for last couple of year with bushfires and then floods hitting the region badly. After giving a bit of a break for a few months, I decided to give another go and go for a day trip to some of my favorite spots I used to go with my
Bass fishing was pretty good on the South Coast this year, with bass not hesitating to smash surface flies even on rainy days. Managed to find one my favorite sports to camp within a reasonable driving distance from Sydney, with an easy access to launch a kayak and with no other campers in sight.
The weather this summer has been pretty funny. I think on average we’ve had more rainy days than the sunny ones. That’s obviously affecting river water flows and most of them are flooded quite badly. Even though the forecast wasn’t looking promising this weekend as well, with some
