Freshwater Fishing

So gentlemen,,,what are we going to discuss first,,,:D

Chops

more time needed away from the kids sports for my sport ;)

cant do much at the moment though as its closed season :(
but some rivers are catch and release,so fishing is fine

Haven't worked out how to post full size pics yet but the 'attachments' seem to be working ok :)
Since it's Winter in Australia I thought that Clothing may be an important topic .

Hi Kev
Ive made that thread "sticky",it will remain up the top,add to it as you would a normal thread.
Great idea we shall see how they go.
If anybody else wishes to do similar threads let me know.

Bass and trout here too, although only a relative beginner. Now getting ever closer to retirement so will be looking to do more when possible. Oh, I also like catching and eating Yellowbelly (Golden Perch, Callup) from our western rivers.

That's a pretty good effort of 'hands up' guys :)
I'm sure there are lots more members out there that don't post often on the forum but also enjoy freshwater fishing .
I also teach 'Fly Fishing' if anyone is interested in that side of the sport :)

Hey, I've heard that the trout up at Eucumbene have done the submarine thing again.... very quiet...

anyone go up that way much ?

Pete

Hi Kev
A write up on fly fishing would be great.
Never tried it,but have watched a few masters of the art cast,its good to see.
Really enjoyed that Rob Stitch show on the ABC,A River Somewhere.Great fishing,scenery and comedy too.

Try and learn how guys -it is great fun. Then when you have mastered the basics try nightime fly fishing. Total black night and black flies - a real winner. And the golden rule is - The blacker the night the blacker the fly.

I don't mind a spot of flyfishing for trout. Hence the log on name :). Get to tassie as often as I can and down to northern NSW on the occassional long weekend. I love fishing small streams and dont mind if the fish are small so long as the scenery is good. Parking the landie by a stream setting up the tent and getting a fire going with a coldie in hand is heaven for me. I am defintely not a good fisherman. I am happy if a get a couple of fish on a trip and are just as happy to watch my fishing mate putting in the effort and catch all the fish :(.
