Beaut colours on this guy 

A midge hatch around lunch time, must of been why they where so active today 

shout out to @AquaticResearch1 for the motivation from his previous post. Went up to the hills this morning to find plenty of small trout about. 

Nice ! 

Thanks Lofty 

Lost my job on monday. Lost my beautiful dog Thursday. Just 7 years old. Donut at Balgowan today. - ruff week. 

I do a locked blood knot to locked blood knot, super easy, fast. Probly not the strongest. Works for me. Double uni on my fly gear. Il only do a fg on my big rods ( 80lb braid ) when throwing lures. 

Nice Spaniards. 5 star eating.  

I always take a banana ! 

Sootie on fly, nice. Thanks for sharing

Same, i  called in to grab some hard bodys and take advantage of the 20% off h.b. once i got home and checked receipt there was no discount given. Not that it really bothers me. But i should have checked whilst there.

Show us ya fish ? 

Very cool 

Beautiful fish, incredible how deep its so close to shore. 

Amazing country side. Thanks Mepps

Very nice couple of small stream trout on fly, I'd rate that as better than your regular bag out's in the boat, either way you are a fish catching machine. Just wondering if you noticed any snakes out? I'm usually done with trout in the hills by this time of year due to the bastard poison bitey murder sticks but with the cooler weather we've had was thinking of giving it one more go this weekend.

Hi wurt, no snakes spotted. But it was a cold day. Funny you say that i was only telling a mate the day after how many snakes i spot summer time in the hills. - leaping off banks. Defently keeps you on your toes.  Walking around the light river in padocks is worse. The browns are huge!

A decent pair of waders is a must for me. 

Tried a tiny stream around the Lobey area this morning. The wheather was pretty average. only 11 degrees in the hills, wasn't expecting much activity.

A bow n arrow cast into a murky twig infected hole and this juvenile could not resist. 

simple grub i tied years ago.

Spotted this guy high on a bank, snuck behind him and made a short cast

Trecked a few km's, with hardly any sightings.. Overall a quiet morning. When i arrived back in the Barossa it was 18 degrees and the sun was shining..

Good luck. Il be working or id be there. 

Theres no way to prove it.. I wouldn't worry about it. 

Look for clean flowing water, that's permanently running. Search for fish. Take your time.  Wade tight creeks. Put in the leg work.  Youl find them!  The journey is half the fun.

Learn how to bow and arrow cast. 

Thats a silly question  

I know what id be doin

Rileys shallow reef, good for squid, snapper maybe gar by novemeber. For the Reds-  If its blowing an Easterly, balloon off with long trace, will save you loosing alot of rigs on the bottom.

The snapper ban may be in place by then tho. 

Beautiful spring day, tried for some trout on fly in the hills. A few spotted, but not alot of action. 4 fish landed. Ran into a group of SAFFA gents, having a bbq and and catch up, along the heysen trail. When i got back to my car there was a letter and a contact number for the Association . Jolly o

One of these would have been handy today.
