About LinkBacksEarly start this morning. Too early. On the water it was cold and dark. Couldn't spot a thing. Once the sun broke out though it was a different story.
8degC water gave me numb feet. After all of Aprils' rain the rivers are flushed crystal clear and is like fishing in neat Bombay Sapphire gin. Very hard to stalk and get a good lay on fish, plus they were surprisingly spooky for an area that should have been quite (shit casting didn't help either).
Picked up a fish around 1.5 - 2.0kg in a back water via an ambush. Not puritan technique, but it worked. Also dropped another with a bust knot. Getting a bit puzzled now as I have had too many bust offs this season with bad/failed knots.
