Thanks mate! Yeah Tom is like a savant, there’s a reason he always finishes very close to the top at the world championships every year, because he is literally one of the very best in the world right now. We’re pretty lucky to have him here in Oz….. :)
Thanks, yeah it’s a nice river. Tom did much better than I did targeting more dry fly water, the nymphing was not that good but dry fly was fishing pretty well. :)
Good stuff Peachy. Awesome to see you guys on my home water. ( I go above and below where you were in the valley) Personally….Doubly funny to see TJ pull a hook too ( in-house joke! Ask him and mention “guide error on the Golbourn ”😅😅😅). I fished it on the following Sunday evening late….there is some truth about them being more nocturnal after the carnage of commorants swooping in from lake Oberon!!!
@@PeachyFlyFishing managed to nab a couple of those elusive bows just on dark. Fished a run I’d covered really well. And yea, pretty revealing rises late in the day. (I’ll tell you about my session with Tom over a beer one day!…it got ludicrous!! I had a shocker…he was very patient!!! )
Tricky conditions, for sure! The wind is a real pain! VERY Interesting reel, Peachy - some black fishers are using similar too … it freespins until you release the ‘trigger’? Then the drag kicks in?
Thanks Roberta! The reel is a semi-automatic reel, you pull the handle and it reels in about 1 metre of slack line per pull of the trigger, but only slack line, not under any load. The drag is there all the time but it's set light... :)
@@PeachyFlyFishing WOW! Different again! I’ve been looking at the other one that some Blackie fishos are using …. That is cool that it pulls in loose line ….. sort of like mending?
@robertapearce5924 mainly for picking up slack so your line doesn’t get caught around stuff, pretty handy! That reel is a JMC Yoto, you’ll probably find some info on it if you search it up. :)
Nice Steve. Sounds like you crammed a lot into that week! We were out butchering everything you guys taught us all weekend. No major injuries.🙂 Great to see Aussie fly creators getting together to do stuff, very enjoyable. Keep 'em coming, mate. Cheers PP
