As a stream fisher on a #4wt, this ‘close to’ 6lb rainbow, was a great start to the month. Taken in one of the feeder streams at Currawong on a #14 copper bead-head nymph it took nearly 15 minutes to get to hand in its narrow but deep hideout.

Put quite a bend in the Pro Angler Stalker Master as shown below. Ray went on to land five others, but this was the pick of them for both tight location and size.

Kim has worked the bubble line to perfection at the start of his fly fishing workshop, hooking up a lovely well-conditioned rainbow.

This can often be the case when good rains bring fresh water into a lake or lagoon.

Below, he used an unweighted #12 Montana nymph to get this one’s attention.

This time on Currawong Lakes with Red Tag, first up a very nice early spring wild brown, then later on some great fun with a few lively rainbows.

First the fighting grin, above, then the fish, below, a bit hard to see with Dave hanging on prior to release, but look at the depth, superb condition for so early in the season.

Ken and son Campbell wanted to get into fly fishing so had a introductory workshop recently.

Not only introduced to the skills of casting etc, but also to some nice wild browns as well on their first outing.

Below, Ken breaks his duck and nets this wild brown trout.

Then not to be outdone by Dad, Campbell gets this rather larger one on the Woolly Bugger, above, which Ken too thinks is a pretty good effort judging by the grins.
