Between showers, wind shifts, and a little heavy rain, a gorgeous brownie like this will keep you smiling! A few sporadic waves of duns south of the Cowpaddock at Arthur's Lake, Luke managed to nail a few with accurate casts using an emerger.

Even when on your honeymoon you have to make time to go fishing! Rob had a lot of experience with the fly on many different species, yet the trout was new to him. We found a few very close in amongst the sticks. The Polaroiding was magnificent and a red tag fly did the trick!

Once again Polaroiding  in amongst the tight stuff! An experienced lake fisherman, Simon perfects his stream craft during a river experience. Accurate casting over shallow water brings this brownie to hand.

In windy conditions, finding a calm area that has structure, such as trees, and good weed beds, can make all the difference. One of Liam's first trout, and the only help he needed to bring it in was a grown-up wielding a net!

At very low water levels the trout are at their most wary. They will show when the food turns itself on, i.e. during a stonefly hatch. Ilsa holds a fine Brumbys Creek brown trout, found over skinny weed beds collecting stonefly nymphs.

Junji did well at the very tail end of the season to land two good fish in succession on Great Lake.

A rivers man, who's experience includes a line class world record (Chinnook Salmon), Phil was impressed with the quality and the power of our wild Tasmanian brown trout. This one in particular took a grasshopper in grand style!

Reliable! Arthur's Lake and some specific loch style techniques. Before the hatch gets underway, the nymphs are agitated over the weed bed. Chris fished a bead head in the right place and hung onto this one!

Duns, determination, and staying in touch with the fly - a successful formula, and the result for Don was a number of hookups in quick succession!

When you find a bunch of these rainbows working in the windlanes of Great Lake, this is a typical result. This one almost straightened Wally's hook!
