Just a quick post to share couple of pictures I’ve taken this year while exploring the Snowy and the Blue Mountains. Didn’t get to land too many fish, or anything of a decent size worth taking photos of, during the period from February up until end of May. Just did not have much luck on
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
Managed to put together a quick video from the bass fishing trip we did to the Mid North Coast couple of months ago. Just before things got quiet and bass moved all the way downstream to their spawning grounds. We were still able to get occasional hits off the top but most of the fish were already sitting deep in the water column and much more keen on hitting a bass vampire or a clouser type of fly.
My old mate Dal (Dalius) was in town visiting for a week. So we had a plan to do a trip somewhere outside of the city. Because it being a peak of the summer and the temperatures scorching way into 40s we thought it’s better to spend some time camping somewhere on the coast rather than going
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
Got to spend Easter break down in the Snowy Mountains National Park doing a little bit of fishing and camping. Didn’t get into any big fish but the little ones I caught were angry and in great condition. Some are still taking dry flies, some are already holding in the deeper water and only interested
These are just a few pictures from my recent adventures trying to catch a decent size aussie bass on a fly. Tried few spots around the Sydney suburban area and got into a few little guys that were a good fun on light tackle. Most productive time of a day for me was just before the storm or at dawn
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
