Late Arvo -night At Narra Lakes

[Narralakes]

Bluecod and myself hit Narrabeen Lakes yesterday for a late arvo fish. First plan was to head up Middle Creek to try and see if the bream were keen on surface poppers yet. It was a perfect afternoon for MC with a slight breeze and the leccy doing a good job, what did I ever do without a bowmount foot controlled, they are just a great addition. We ventured up the creek, it was pretty hard going and we fished some very fishy looking snags and weedbeds for about an hour and a half. We had several missed strikes, just enough to keep us going to the next bend in the creek. We eventually headed back and just after the bridge I landed a nice little bream coming to 25 cms, nice fun on the 5 wt, re pic. The creek was very good practise for flycasting in tight space as at times the creek was only about 4-5 metres wide, so roll casting came in handy. After the creek we drifted around Pipeclay then the birdge, but only had a few hits. With the sun quickly fading we headed to the caravan park and burleyed up and there was plenty of action with some thumper mullet to 35 cms, a few bream and tailor up to 35 cms all hitting the burley. We scored about 8 nice sized mullet, a couple of bream and tailor and called it quits about 9 pm. A good arvo/night was had, plus plenty of casting practice.

G'day Rob,

there are plenty of tailor in the lake at the moment. Late afternoon, ie dusk to nightfall, is when they all came on, lots of decent sized choppers as well, over 30 cms, Bluecod got bitten off a couple of times and one of them did a big leap in the air before biting through the line. I caught mine with a breadfly, as they were getting into the burley and the one I boated spewed up heaps of bread. So just burley up late in the arvo and you should be right, any fly or lure as they were busting up big time, I reckon they are pretty hungry as they have been cooped up in the lake for so long, feed might be getting scare. BTW, the water was at a very warm 27 degrees C, I know that sounds warm, and it certainly was.

Ken,

I'll send you the photo, its nothing special, just like putting up a photo with reports if possible. At my File Attachments, it says I only have "Global Space Left: 15.31l".

cheers
