    Hi guys
    Opening weekend , fizing with excitement round here/school holidays off to the shop on Friday to get a couple of new rods, gear , licence etc thought we where all set got over to the pommy Friday arvo & shock horror the river was turd brown !! yet we haven't had barely enough rain to wet the drive in 3 weeks so opted for another plan carried on north for the clutha , really nice place to camp though there was plenty of lightning & thunder way in the distance didn't worry us to much though as we had enough time to light the fire cook tea & get some milk worms , pluss plenty of fish were rising rite infront of camp , the girls were at me to put the rods in but iv gone soft these days "didn't want to break the rules" so we settled on a few bourbons instead & went to bed.Name:  IMG_0393 (Copy).JPG

    Alarm set for 7 woke upto no rain or wind but very disappointed the river was dirty still the girls wernt to worried still having fun so cooked breke , tossed the lines in but I wasn't surprised that we had no bites so I suggested we go back to another spot downstream that mite not be flooded (sidestream) so the youngest started winding in her rod & bingo a fish grabed it ..only small but it was her first so we were very pleased .
    next we setup in the side creek that was running clear managed onemore a bit bigger than the first & the bonus was it was the other daughter that caught it so all was well in the world again .Name:  IMG_0405 (Copy).JPG

    Our opening went good. Started by taking a mates two boys out for a hunt, shot a couple of spikers. Then fishing a nice piece of water that rarely sees fishermen. I managed 5 between 3 & 5lb and Tim nabbed 8 between 1 & 4lb for the day. Weather was primo.

    you dont even need to do that when it is nice and wet like it is at the mo, bury a garden fork into the ground upto the hilt and jiggle the handle backwards and forwards gently. Works suprprisingly well.

    Cut it out. Still bloody raining here ☹️
    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

Size:  1,002.0 KBUltimately some team work led to this one firstly, he walked the 3 1/2 K to set up camp with a pack on in some pretty sticky stuff, i hooked it he played it with a lot of grunting for a good 5 minutes before handing me back the rod before yelling i'm going to get the net and taking off, the most aggressive heart stopping display of netmanship followed before i could calm him down enough to slip the net under her. I have never enjoyed catching a trout as much as that one or heard " its a good fish eh dad" repeated as many times as much in an hour. He caught a small one by himself in the morning and was good enough to let me net it for him.Unforgettable
