Tassie you beauty!
With easing of an interstate travel restrictions on the horizon now, all the keen trout fishos should add Tassie to their list as one of the places to visit this summer. People and businesses definitely need your support during these hard times and every penny spent in the region would help them regardless. To the flyfishers like myself Tasmania is probably best known for its sensational trout fishing in the lakes. Not sure why but I always prefered the sound of a gurgling water, the boulders and a curiosity to see what’s around the next river bend over the still water. And Tasmania certainly has some amazing rivers that run through and incredible terrain and landscape. Trout that live there have the most incredible markings on them that I’ve ever seen. In the last few weeks I was going through the footage I’d taken back in April while in Tassie and realized that I could probably stitch a short video of that trip together. So here it is.
Where rivers never sleep
Short video of a trip I did back in April chasing a hopper hungry brown trout in Victoria’s High Country. So cool to go through all the clips I’d taken back then and now having bit of extra time and putting them together to come up with this clip. Hopefully I captures Autumn goodness in the remote part of North East Victoria. Tight lines.
Third time lucky
Third time lucky they say. This was the third trip to the Eucumbene this year and it happened to be one of the better trips of the 2021 for sure. So many fish caught I even lost the count. From one pool I remember pulling out maybe 4 fish and loosing 3, that’s pretty good on my books. Here’s
Eucumbene – Round Two
Second trip down to the Eucumbene this last season was much better compared to the previous one. Managed to land a few decent size trout, and one of them was a stonker probably my biggest fish for the year. Patience and some water stalking pays off sometimes, most fish smashing small size nymphs instead
Autumn on the Eucumbene
This was my first trip this Autumn to the Eucumbene, where me and my friends decided to fish and camp on the upper reaches of the river. Couple of cold nights and only a big log fire managed to save us from freezing our butts off. Ended up fishing not a whole lot this time, more drinking and having
Tasmania – not a bad place to be
Back in April I did a quick exploratory trip to Tasmania, with a little bit of fishing and hiking done in the North West part of the island. Can confirm – Tasmania is pretty unique place with vast landscapes and fast running rivers it’s a flyfisherman’s and hikers place to be. Fishing
Autumn in Victoria’s High Country
Couple months ago, I was browsing my phone when some kind of add popped up with Tasmania’s goverment covering the cost of ferry ride from Melbourne to Tasmania. That sounded way too tempting as I hadn’t been to Tassie before. So I arranged some leave from my work for couple of weeks over
Day in the Blue Mountains
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
South Coast bass again
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.
Barrington Coast
Well, this was just pretty much just a drive through Barrington Coast looking for some water to fish. No secret most of the North Coast NSW had one of the wettest summers on record this year. Country side is looking lush and green which was a pleasure to look at. Drove past quite a few potential bass
