Probably a bit of both Anthony! Good to hear you’re catching plenty. I think people sometimes overestimate their ability to ‘see’ trout in a stream when in fact, even on the best days, the most capable fishers only ever see a fraction of the trout that are present. Really, not seeing or not catching trout is no proof at all that they’re not actually present.

I just got back from 2 weeks of the same! Small trout are the heartiest of fish and I found that on many of the rivers I fished, the populations were as high if not higher than any other autumn I have fished them. Or maybe Im just becomming a better fly fisher each year.

[...] With more than 40 years of experience behind him, the author is an authority. When others here in Australia are talking about how tough the fishing is due to a hot summer and cormorants, he proves the fish (and the fishing) are just fine. [...]

Fishing has been good with the rain being favourable but unfortunately for me work seems to get in the way etc etc…

Cheers

Alas no Ranald, it’s still a blank in my flyfishing travels. Hope the rain has kept things ticking over up there,

Regards

Philip

HI Philip – just re-reading your book “The River Behind the Hill” and wondered at the somewhat wistful comment in the back of the book about the Central Tablelands of NSW; you hoped you will have fished them by the time the book was published. Did that happen? If not let me know.

Cheers

Dave I’ve no idea on bamboo rod values; try getting in touch with Nick Taransky http://www.taranskybamboo.com.au – he may be able to help, or point at least you towards someone else who can. From what little I know though, the 5 piece factor may be a negative.
