wrasseman Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 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.

Martin Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 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 Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flattieman Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Wow! It's always great to catch fish in your backyard, no matter what size or type. Well done, Col. Flattieman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
