Landed 30cm+ redfin on BMS fly, dropped a rainbow, missed a chinook (sight fishing). Few follows from chinook and saw a tiger trout cruising around just below the surface. Nothing on the double clutch. My mate got few follows and looks, but hooked none.

Purumbette on kayak Sat 2nd July
Fished 7:30am-1pm, cloudy overcast and drizzle now and then. Fished the weedy area on the east side.
I was casting fly and trolling double clutch on a spin gear. My mate was using various hardbodies and plastics.

And that's it... 4hrs return drive, 300km+, $70+ petrol, meals. Fishing can be exhausting the physical health and the wallet.

You're not wrong.
A hot cup of coffee from a small country bakery shop is pretty enjoyable too.

Re: Purumbette on kayak Sat 2nd July
i agree with you Andrews, i usually go out to one of my dams ( i live on a rural farm property) for a few hours just practising my casting and different lures and that, there has been a couple of magpie geese hanging around my dam lately, i think they are migrating. but yeah the view and the calmness is always good.

The worse the weather, the better it fishes there
There is always more to learn , fish to catch , places to see and friends to make.

Did you try jigging for the schooled up reddies?
Was a real fun way of getting some numbers.
