Thread: Lower Reaches Local River

I took my youngest son to a local river the other day for a fish, he is three years old but loves fishing.

The first pool we came too held some nice looking fish considering the season that we have had with flooding and very dry spells.

I set him up with a worm and he was practicing his fly casting with the rod dragging the sinker and worm through the water when i looked up and saw a nice fish t the base of a tree in the foam line.

I quickly grabbed my fly rod, tied on a humpy blowfly and cast to the fish, slurp the fish hit it straight away.
It was a great fight and the fish fought very well, my son really wanted to eat it as he had never tried trout before so I quickly dispatched it.

We baked it that night with lemon in the cavity and lemon pepper on the outside.

Fair to say that my family all loved it!
