Not a bad day chasing some rainbows out in Central West 2 hours drive from Sydney. I did not get a fish but Max managed to land a whopper. Some crazy weather about, quite cold in the morning and super windy on the lake, which made sightfishing a bit tricky. Good times
Snowy Mountains – Late Season Trout
Had couple of good sessions in the Snowy Mountains just before general trout waters closed for the trout spawning. Tied a few new fly patterns that I wanted to try out this year and they seemed to be doing the trick just well. Most of the fish were caught on the those nymphs and maybe only one or
Fish river 10 year difference
Couple months ago, while trying to find an access to the Fish river on the Central West of NSW (this river is well known for running mostly through private properties) I stumbled across a sweet little spot that looked somehow familiar. I took couple of pictures, made a few casts before realising that
Bassin’ Around
This year I didn’t get out to chase bass as much as I would have liked to, and ended up doing more exploring than actual fishing. I did find a couple of new access points for the next year when I would bring my packraft along for an overnight hike. Also managed to find a pretty decent camping
Sydney Harbour – Grand Slam
Had an awesome Saturday morning flyfishing the beautiful Sydney Harbour. Big thanks and a shoutout to a local guide Ben Foster from the Endless Session that took us out on the water despite the poor weather forecast. It got quite windy and rainy at times, but we managed to find couple sheltered bays
Old buddy in town – bit of beach time, bit of fishing
My old mate Dal (Dalius) was in town visiting for a week. So we had a plan to do a trip somewhere outside of the city. Because it being a peak of the summer and the temperatures scorching way into 40s we thought it’s better to spend some time camping somewhere on the coast rather than going
Simon Gawesworth – Sydney demo
Had a pleasure to meet and get some tips and advices from one of the biggest legends in fly casting world – Simon Gawesworth. Simon is mostly known for being a Sage, Redington and Rio ambassador. Flyshops all over the world are full of his books and DVDs, Youtube is loaded with his casting
Bassin’ around Sydney
Another post about me trying out my packraft and continuing paddling rivers around Sydney. So far been pretty happy with this little thing, it takes me to places that probably never seen people before. Now just matter of getting out of Sydney and maybe trying to find some bigger specimens, which means
Late Summer afternoon
Another summer afternoon in a city, and I decided to head to a local park for a quick flick. Few casts away and I was onto a fish. A nice little flathead decided to go for a chartreuse colour clouser. Seems like this fly is one of the better fly patterns if you ever decided to chase flathead. So I
Sydney Harbour
Had a most amazing day on the harbour chasing kingfish on fly. It was a completely different kind of flyfishing experience, something I’ve never done before. Stripping using both hands, setting a hook without lifting a rod but rather pulling a flyline towards your body. Crazy numbers of fish,
