I Heart the Mayfly

Took off out to The ‘Skins again for a look the other day…. It was overcast, a bit windy and as I hopped out of the car, the Red Spinner mayfly hopped onto my shirt – Rad. I just love the little critters. They spend a few months as a nymph and when conditions allow, they…

Four Skins

Ventured out to Four Springs Lake after work on Friday (affectionately known as Four Skins). Daylight savings allows for a 3-4 hours of light after hours which is more than enough for a cheeky little mission. We dumped the boat in at around 5:30pm and there was plenty of red spinner at the ramp. A…

Creeks and Drains

When the weather warms up, the desire to fish (for me) increases. The sun is gradually getting higher in the sky, insects start to hatch, the days are getting longer and my grass is getting shorter. You see, if I don’t cut the grass, I don’t get a leave pass. If I do the dishes, I…

Derwent Flickin’

I had some work duties to attend to in the South of our state. Meetings and travel took up most of my time, but I thought it would be rude not to have a quick  lunch-time fish while down there. In any case, I always carry a rod to satisfy such temptations. With a warm…

Whitebait Feeders…

Headed out to the Great Forester River over the weekend, hopeful that bait fish might be starting to move up into the system. Arrived to my little spot and was greeted with a stiff breeze, enough to blow the skin off a rice custard. There was also a familiar vehicle parked near the bridge –…

Heads or Tails

From the salty shores of Western Australia comes a fast-paced, pumping Permit DVD with great footage and plenty of action. Be sure to check out the Permit taking dry flies! A sensational film with some real characters making up the team. A sick soundtrack too, with some home-grown artists like COG. Check out the trailer:…
