The Bream Reaper

93 cm long so you could imagine how massive that gut actually was!

some 5wt carp- great fun on light tippet

6wt will be fine. Use a floating line and gentle presentation. usually if they are feeding on the bottom then the fly needs to be dropped gently in front of them or in their path, usually just a little jiggle of the fly catches their attention. Too much movement or splashing often scares them. With floating bread flies I just chuck them out and wait for them to smash them.....

Go to Ikea Buy $2 (or thereabouts) childs toilet step. Drill some drainage holes, use thick cable ties to prevent tangles, cut slot for belt in concave part. PERFECT!!!. Can cut slots on side and rest reel inside tub with rod over top as convenient holder whilst you re-rig. Sits perfectly against your hip like it was made for fly fishing. Here is my Thomas The Tank stripping basket.... al under $5 You're welcome

Cheers guys! Keenfisho- I see snakes a lot but they don't bother me. Last session I saw three very large red bellies heads down with tails sticking right out of the water, foraging for food. One was massive! They were all sighted on a 50 metre stretch of bank. I see lots of Browns on the paths in and out too.
