Finally one of my regular rivers had dropped to a level that was safe for wading, it was still a little higher than I preferred. The water temperature was up to 11 degrees as well, much better than the six degrees that's it been on. Even though the trout were a little scarce it was good to get onto a couple of nice rainbows, my first for the season. Thanks for watching..
cheers

The Meander River water level had dropped to a safer wading level, so that's where I headed. Even though it was higher than I would have liked I knew an area I could wade as long as I took it easy. Not the session I wanted but still managed a few hits from the trout. The water temperature is still very low and the flow was on the fast side, the fishing will improve as the water level drops to the 60 cm mark. It still nice to finally get into one of the larger river for a change of scenery.. Thanks for watching..
** Since this tip we've had a heap of rain and the rivers are all running high again... snow down to 200 mtrs is forecast overnight as well..😪
cheers

Unreal hey. The running water. Does wonders for the mental game. 

Finally after several days of rain we finally had a nice Spring day so I headed of to check out one of my regular large rivers only to find it running too high for safe wading.  I did spend a little time there flicking a #1 Aglia-e inline spinner around before heading off to my favorite & ever reliable small tannin stream. That was also running high, much high than my previous trip a week ago,, anyway I spent some time in it and caught & released a few wild browns..  cheers Adrian..               

Thanks mepps 

With weather like today, how can you not go fishing. Was able to head for the hills this morning. Wasn't really fussed if I caught anything or not, happy to be outside in some sun.

 

Caught these two guys on a black and orange nymph. Tied half a dozen last night. Come home with two. Only using 2lb tippet. 

When I came across this guy, I knew for certain the hills where waking up.. 

Some ruff stuff. That gets the job done. Carry bunch of woolys and drys too 
 
 
 

I normally wait until spring for the first trout fish. After reading @styla report, thought I'd give it a crack myself. 
Expecting alot of water. Forecast only 11 degrees and the odd shower. 

Spotted and spooked a few fish before my first. All juveniles. This guy fell to a simple grub pattern. 

Another sitting in the fast wash 

Glad I got out and had a look. will wait until it warms up a little and flow slows before I try again.
