Suburban Fishing.

[wrasseman]

All these recent reports of "backyard" action motivated me to check out a tiny stream even closer to home than my recent north esk sessions. Its more of a stormwater drain really but does hold small trouties. My best from this stream is just 42cm but todays were just a 30ish fish that fell off as I retrieved my camera and this tiny little fella. Not exactly a pristine waterway but its very close to home.

[Bream Mad]

Col,

Gee mate you are making me jealous. We Sydney based raiders have to drive two hours to get a sniff of those speckled browns , and you just head to you local stormwater drain

you sure are lucky down in Tassie.

I guess you'll just have to make do with bass, bream, flatties and jewies (I could keep this list going for a while I reckon). I wish I lived on the coast.

Ankle deep for the most part but it does have deeper bits (waste deep) here and there.

Col, that is amazing to have that in your back yard, you could drink from your stormwater drain and in Sydney we often do not recommend eating fish from the harbour.

There’s a lot to be said for letting Tasmania becoming part of Australia (just joking)

I would love to be able to spent some time in Tasmania and have al;ways wanted to go trout fishing there.

Good luck with your fishing

Cheers

Wow! It's always great to catch fish in your backyard, no matter what size or type. Well done, Col.
