Well with my son away I couldnt believe my luck. My response " what a good idea, can I drop you off". After packing her gear up and seeing her excitment to be heading on an overnight, combined with the thought of landing that first season fish, I could hardly contain myself.<br /> <br /> well where to go, -gave big nige a ring and he suggested the ashley as close by. So dawn came and with a minor work crisis (hadnt thought about gst ist oct changes not working according to plan) turned up an hour late to meet big nige who was asleep in the truck.<br /> <br /> We then had the dreaded dirty water find-yes the ashley was filthie !! -came up overnight . -so once again I thought I would do my usually trick and go exploring . Nige sat very nervously next to me wondering if he was going to get any fishing in and if we would return by nightfall.<br /> <br /> So we drove and drove looking at tributaries a, creeks etc. Then who should we come across but a fishing store owner with a couple of his mates, who had camped over night. After good old yack we started fishing semi dirty water about 11am. At about 1pm I was bored , as we couldnt see fish and I couldnt be bothered blind fishing all day when it was the opening of the season.<br /> <br /> <br /> <a rel="lightbox" href="http://www.cantafly.com/Home/images/fbfiles/images/sPA010007.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://www.cantafly.com/Home/images/fbfiles/images/sPA010007.jpg" style="max-width: 405px;" /></a> <br /> <br /> so well back to the car for a reconaisance of local claer water that I had not fished.<br /> Well after a half hour drive to another area, we found a beautiful little stream that was ideal for early season and I had always wanted to check it out. It was now about 2pm. <br /> <br /> <a rel="lightbox" href="http://www.cantafly.com/Home/images/fbfiles/images/s2.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://www.cantafly.com/Home/images/fbfiles/images/s2.jpg" style="max-width: 405px;" /></a><br /> <br /> Well the results were great as we saw fish in great condition and had some good fun for a couple of hours.<br /> <br /> Theres nothing better than going exploring and finding some good water youve never fished before and landing a great condition fish. A nice 51/4 pound brown took my nymph on the 4th fly change, and didnt make it to the tree stumps.<br /> <br /> <a rel="lightbox" href="http://www.cantafly.com/Home/images/fbfiles/images/s3.jpg"><img alt="" src="http://www.cantafly.com/Home/images/fbfiles/images/s3.jpg" style="max-width: 405px;" /></a></div> <br /> Tight lines Tim w Platinum Brands, Fly Fishing Adventures for Joint Venture & Business Partners.
