Yeah... there's a nice little stream trout rising right now near my front gate.

Too bad i have to meet a guy about a job or i'd go flick a fly to him. Maybe later this arvo/evening. See if any of his mates or uncles and aunts are around at last light, too.

Agree with everything Polack says above, only i use different hooks and usually one worm. A good sized scrubby.

Yep, just got back yesterday, Tuesday from Tassie. Did no good up around the Sisters Beach area but a few of the locals got a feed. Talking to another Local fishing for Black Backs with spinners at Davenport off the bank at the park and he got 6 - good size too.
I'm mainly chasing trout but didn't get a chance this trip - too cold and windy, I think it needs a few warm days in a row to improve things.
Cheers & tight lines.
Boom, Boom! Tikka, Tikka, Boom! Shoot first, video later.

Watched two fish by my gate feeding heavily on midges or some other minuscule insect for about ten minutes today. Then I decided to head home and have a beer because I may have flies that small but I CBF trying to tie them on and cast them.
Fun watching the fish, though,

Finally caught the bigger fish near my gate that keeps feeding on tiny, near invisible insects. Was a henfish but i only got video, no photo. Caught it last Wednesday and put it back. Measured 48cm and a healthy fish in good condition.
Found a bigger one just upstream a few hundred meters but haven't managed to get near it yet. Has refused my fly about 5 times already! :problem:
