Fly fishing

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!

The wind dropped and the red spinner danced over the glassy surface of the water, occasionally landing. Many browns moved in, sipping down the stragglers. Chuck's delicate presentations resulted in numerous hook-ups.

Our beloved Brumbys! During the full heat of the day, often the shade and a magic little fly will do the trick. Brian discovers the Tups Indispensable!
