After having a doughnut chasing trout in the Blue Mountains I decided to give a crack on an early season bass and this way redeem myself. And what an awesome day it turned out to be. Spend the first half of the day casting bass vampire fly at all kinds of structures and not having a touch, I thought
This was my first trip to the Blue Mountains after the season has re-opened and I was itching to see how the rivers look like in the Spring. Especially after all this rain we had in last couple of months. Was great to see grass and trees so lush and green, and the river running in the best condition
Now as the spring is starting to kick in, it’s about time to have a wrap up on how went on Blue Mountains lakes during winter. Fishing for trout in lakes especially here in the Blue Mountains, it’s a test for every fisherman’s patience. You can sometimes spot them false-spawning
Decided to check out this tidal creek near Sydney in a hope of catching a midsummer bass. Wasn’t too sure if they gonna be at that particular section of the system or they have moved up much more upstream into a brackish water. Super busy weekend, lots people swimming, kayaking, rock jumping.
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.
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
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
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
Had an awesome Saturday morning flyfishing the beautiful Sydney Harbour. Big thanks and a shoutout to a local guide Ben Foster from the Endless Session that took us out on the water despite the poor weather forecast. It got quite windy and rainy at times, but we managed to find couple sheltered bays
