This summer has been ridiculous in New South Wales. Some areas experienced two or even three major floods, and as off today the rain still keeps on falling. I had big doubts about the trip to the Blue Mountains, but thought if even the little creeks will be blown out I might just go and take photos of pumping waterfalls. To my surprise the first creek I decided to fish on that day was in a pretty reasonable flow, so definitely looked like a day will be spent well even if I don’t catch anything. I landed a pretty good size rainbow on first cast on a pink bead head nymph and then couple more fish on a big woolly bugger. Then I decided to move to a different section of the river, where in maybe 100m stretch I landed another 4-5 rainbows. That would be very good day’s fishing on my books in the prime river conditions. I guess the lesson taken from this – just go and enjoy the outdoors, and if the stars align you’ll be rewarded with a fish or two. Peace.
