Just came across this write up of a Great White that leaped into a fisherman's boat... pretty hairy that's for sure.. http://www.theage.com.au/environment/animals/great-white-shark-jumps-into-fishermans-boat-off-evans-head-20170528-gwf55m.html cheers Adrian

That's an interesting write up Barney and it's it's been found here in Australia too.. Well one species of it has and more than likely in the North of Australia.. The range of Phallus indusiatus is tropical, including Africa (Congo,[21] Nigeria,[31] Uganda,[32] and Zaire[33]) South America (Brazil[24] Guyana,[34] and Venezuela[35]), Central America (Costa Rica),[36] and Tobago.[37] In North America, its range is restricted to Mexico.[38] Asian localities include Indonesia, Malaysia,[39] India,[8] Southern China, Japan,[22] and Taiwan.[40] It has also been collected in Australia.[41] ch

Here's a few pic's of wild brown trout on the spawning run at the weir on the Tyenna River in the South of Tasmania.. Photos are by Tyenna Dave and I thank him for allowing me to share them with you all on the site.. Dave is one of the great trout fisho's in the South whether it be on the fly or lure fishing.. cheers Adrian

So I rang Daiwa Australia to confirm it and they said "That's correct, they're being discontinued and they have 15 left in stock. If want them I'd have to be quick and get hold of a Daiwa seller and get them to get them in for me. Well I was quickly on the phone and was lucky enough to get twelve of the Ghost Brown ones that I use from Daiwa.. so i do have some nice trout lures to see me out for a while proving I don't ge
