I’ll have a look at Hepburn for sure. I’ll pick a cloudy weekday if I can. Wow, a Sea Eagle at Millbrook is certainly a surprise. I did see a Juvenile bird at Moorabool resevoir years ago but that is my only local sighting of this species.
Thanks for the fishing tips!

Martin

I had the raptor experience of my life a couple of summers ago walking around Cabin Lake at Millbrook. I startled a sea eagle in a low branch and it almost brushed my head as it tried to get ‘lift’ to take off.

On the local fishing front, Hepburn is well worth a look and the crowds have died down. Pick a cloudy day if you can. Newlyn is worth a trip too.

Regards

Philip

I Just wanted to tell you i’m really enjoying ‘Call of the River’. I live near Buninyong (Garibaldi) and rehab injured birds of prey so the local references and the swamp harrier story are obviously of interest to me, as well as the fly fishing content. I made a brief trip to tassie a couple of weeks ago to improve my fly fishing but spent much of my time getting distracted by the sea eagles at Bronte lagoon! Result just one tiny brown trout caught more by accident than design! I’m also a wildlife artist and hope to start doing some trout pics in future. Can you suggest some good local fly fishing spots? I note Hepburn Lagoon is mentioned in your book, although to be honest I’ve been avoiding it as I’ve heard its getting a bit of a ‘hammering’ on weekends. I tried Bostock dam the other day. Beautiful spot with clearish water and great wildlife watching. Caught a baby rainbow on a wooly bugger but the bigger ones were more elusive. Anyway, I’ll stop before i yabber on too much. Thanks for the book and inspiration. Hope to get to Millbrook lakes one day, maybe when I sell another artwork! Best Regards. Martin Scuffins

Just bought, read and reviewed your book “Fishing Season”. Great book! The review will go online later this month.

I’d love to lay my hands on “Fishing Sense” too.

Can you contact me at martin@globalflyfisher.com? I can send you a sneak preview of the review if I get your mail address.

Martin

All these rivers are reachable by good roads very near to the lake.

Regards

Philip
