I shot this at Lake Fyans recently when we had a few minutes between the midges stopping and the beetles starting! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dbSGYPL1K8

ABC Podcast with Scott Levi
Posted in books, events, fishing Australia, flyfishing, Victorian fishing on August 17, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Last Saturday I had another enjoyable interview with NSW presenter and keen flyfisher Scott Levi. This time Scott asked me to read an excerpt from Fishing Sense. I chose a passage with a little lesson about micro-presentation, set on the Steavenson River just over the Great Divide from Melbourne. You can listen to the podcast [...]
From Great Lake to Grampians

In case anyone thinks I have a knack for nailing good weather on fishing trips, my new book Fishing Sense should dispel that idea, not to mention my last few trips. The first of these was on the last day of July when I fished the Great Lake. There’s something slightly mad about fishing this lake [...]

The Return of the King

What an incredible few months of fishing we’ve had in Victoria. There are now dozens of lakes in the west that are fishing very well, at least some of which, like Hepburn and Tullaroop, that were little more than puddles this time last year. It isn’t only the lakes that are thriving. One welcome return to the [...]
The Log Bridge

Each year, I try to snatch one last trip to the mountain streams before winter closes in completely, and in the middle of May we headed to the Mansfield area. I grew up at the base of Mt Buller, the peak that towers over this landscape, and I learned to fish on the neighbouring streams. Everytime [...]

In typical early season fashion, stonefly were the predominant insect on the rivers at first, bring a few excited rises as they fluttered too close to the water (although stonefly nymphs are aquatic, adult stonefly emerge on land.) However toward the end of my trip, mayfly duns began to appear, and the dry fly fishing lifted accordingly. My mate Steve, who stayed on after I headed home, gleefully informed me that the hatches have only got better.

Last weekend I enjoyed my maiden Tassie fishing trip for the new season, finally managing to combine a book event (at Fullers in Hobart) and some media engagements with a cast or two. The first thing I must mention is the quantity of water. In nearly 3 decades of visits to Tasmania, I’ve never seen [...]

A few years ago, Muz Wilson gave me some of his Emu Woolly Buggers to try. They worked, and as happens with successful flies owned by flyfishers who forget to re-order, their numbers were soon depleted. Eventually I was down to one survivor – a large green one that had caught trout from Lake Jindabyne [...]
