The ongoing adventures of a passionate wild trout fly fishing guide based in Tasmania, Australia's best trout fishing destination.
Roger Butler guides for his one-man guiding operation Red Tag Trout Tours which caters to flyfishers from all over the world, who share a common goal: getting a wild brown trout to hand.
Phil and his long time mate Paul won the Pro Angler/Red Tag 5-day/4-night package tour promotion for the 2010-11 season.
As both were fairly new to fly fishing Currawong Lakes was a great intro day which proved most successful, with Phil getting this nice brown to hand.
Then Paul lands this quality rainbow, below. Top action then followed on the river/stream work during the remainder of the workshop.
First up excellent day on a spring feed river, this one taken on a nymph. Then when the weather turned a bit rough, we headed to Currawong Lakes and had a number of browns to hand to offset the inclement weather.
Peter and Elizabeth returned to have a look at the late spring mayfly on our smaller waters and were rewarded with some excellent conditioned wild brown trout. Above, Elizabeth picks up this top nick brownie in the bubble line just behind her.
Meanwhile, Peter slowly brings one to hand too.
With two days in late November, Gerald had a top day on Currawong Lakes with this quality 4lbs+ rainbow, one of a number of top fish to hand.
Day 2 was a Macquarie River day, tough weather but a couple of good browns to hand and a ‘how big was that one!’ break off part of the day.
