Thanks guys, certainly very lucky down here with the scenery & beautiful rivers/stream to fish. Over the last three months the rivers/streams and even the highland lakes have been over run with Cormorants. The rivers/streams that I fish are now scarce on trout, in fact several small streams have been cleaned out. I spent a couple of hours in the Mersey River yesterday and never spotted a trout at all, this time last year the trout were plentiful in the Mersey. Our trout season closes tomorrow (28th April) for three months, touch wood, hopefully there will be some recovery over the next thr
