Big day leaving Jaffa land 5.30am and on the river above the Bridge 9am.
Not everyones cup of tea this stream , overgrown in many places, snags, logs , clear water but the challenge is great.
Brendan from work didnt find it all that challenging with probably 12 landed and much more than that lost. I had a mare early on but struck form after lunch and ended up with 5 landed and many more lost.
Mostly small or slabby rainbows but Brendan topped the day off nicely with a nice pretty 7.5lb Brown.
Standard bombs and glo bugs worked for us with only 1-2 fish falling for naturals - fish were in pods/ or small schools usually in dark hard to get to holes.

Brendan Hooked up again - 


Im finally on the board


Brendans nice Brownie

hey mate,

where abouts on the river is that top pic? I usually fish off paradise valley road and don't recall that pool, is it further down?

i have a love hate relationship with that stream, love the challenge, hate the fact I never seem to spot many of these big browns and tend to walk away with small rainbows haha...

Haha - lost count of the number of big big browns there.
That pool is about halfway between first access point paradise valley rd and the lodge?
One of many that had a slightly hidden deeper run with lots of rainbows on the bottom
