Blacksands Creek

Date: 27 Jan 2014  
Weather: Sunny   
Crew: Dave 
Target Fish: Spiny Back Crays
Bait: Rump Steak 
Berley: None 
Catch:1 Eel, 1 Spiny Cray
Report: Fun afternoon. Only managed the one cray, and netted an eel out of boredom. Boiled the cray for about 4 minutes  - tasty little bugger! Note for next time, bring some colored ribbon to tie to lines - I had a bastard of a time trying to find them. Also, bring split shot sinkers.

Rating: 7/10

 

Bitwenjopit Fly Session

Date: 26 Jan 2014  
Weather: Sunny   
Crew: Dave, Parko
Target Fish: Trout  
Bait: - Fly - Hoppers 
Berley: None 
Catch:2 Rainbows (one the size of my index finger - smallest I've ever seen), 1 Brown

Report: Thanks to Parko for the fly lesson. Such an incredible experience which I suspect will mark the start of the next chapter in my fishing career. The excitement of watching that little fly hopper float downstream and seeing a fish rise up and grab it is unreal. Action was pretty consistent.
