My friend, Mike, told me that he has finally decided to upgrade his old Daiwa #5 fly rod. So we went to a fly shop to try a few different rods.
After having a lunch at a cafe, we stopped at East Perth to see if fish has came back there. The water was disappointingly dirty thanks to a heavy boat traffic and strong onshore wind, and we quickly decided to leave the place even though I got one fish within a few casts.
友達のマイクが、新しい竿を探していると言うので、今日は地元のフライショップに行って竿を何本か試し振りして来ました。ランチの後で、East Perthのポイントを釣りましたが、早々に一匹を釣ってからは当たりが全くありませんでした。週末なのでパワーボートが沢山出ていて、ボートの引き波と岸に向かって強い風が吹いていたせいで、水は完全に濁っていました。これでは、釣りにはならないと判断して、早々にボートの行き来が少ないCanning River に場所替えです。

While we were driving back, we were talking about where to fish. We eventually decided to fish on Canning River to avoid the weekend boat traffic.
The tide was very low when we got there in the late afternoon, and we drove along the river to find a possible fishing spot.
We stopped at a sand flat which we normally drive pass. This part of the river doesn't get our attention usually. I have fished there couple times before and I got nothing but broken flies being chewed up by schools of blowies.
The place however looked interesting today as we would be able to walk to the channel normally too deep to get to.
We decided to check this place first before moving to our other usual spots which have been dependable. Our bet however paid off at the end as we were hooking up three or four fish each and getting a lot of hits in between. Mike even got his 6lb tippet broken off by a nice fish.
Fish were laying at the edge of the drop-off probably waiting bait fish passing by with the incoming flow. Fish were baiting for a hour or so, and when the tide slowed down, they were gone. It was another usual story of being at the right place on the right tide, we thought.
１０分位やって駄目だったら他のポイントへ移ろうと決めて釣りを始めましたが、いきなりマイクが６lbのティペットを良いサイズの魚に切られ、その後は、二人ともまあまあのサイズの魚を、３、４匹釣りました。
魚は、落ち込みの周りを潮目にそって移動していていて、流れに乗ってくるベイトを追っているようでした。それから、しばらくすると、潮の流れが遅くなり、当たりがパッタリ無くなりました。やっぱりこの釣り、潮の流れを読むのがポイントだと改めて感じました。

ポイント選びに車を走らせていると、普段はウェーディングでは行く事が出来ないポイントが、潮の引きが大きい今日は行けそうに見えました。砂州の先にある落ち込みがポイントですが、普段だと深すぎてアクセスできません。
