Robert stripping in fast to get control of another wild brown

Michael and Robert from NSW had just one day with Red Tag, which included a special detour via Miena to collect them, on a river somewhere.

They are good fly fishers and love small water work, and collectively got 18 to hand with something like 40+ to the fly despite the late start, although this did include a particularly hectic period of Rob’s where he had eight to the fly with none to hand only to find on close inspection the point past the barb of the hook missing!

Was some discussion about whether the guide had put on a punishment fly?

It does go to show, if you are fishing well and the fish are taking, always have a look at your fly to see if all is OK!
