Metro Field Day


I went out for our club's Perth metro field day today, and it was a big turn out of 11 people (as I remember, only 6 showed up for the last metro field day in July).


Mike and I decided to fish on a flat on Canning River around Rossmoyne in the morning. Fishing was slow at mid tide yesterday aftenoon, so we wanted to fish earlier while the tide was still low.

I quickly picked out 3 breams as soon as we got there, but they went quiet very quickly. Other members showed up then, and they told us that fishing was being slow elsewhere.




We then decided to go upstream to check the place where some small tailor were getting caught on soft plastics. I was already happy to get 3 breams, and I wanted to catch tailor for change. So, I cut off my bream flies, and put a bigger streamer, which I tied last night, at the end of 15lb bite tippet.

I guess I was being lucky to hook fish on the first cast, but wasn't being lucky enough as it threw a hook out when I was trying to scoop it with my landing net. Anyway, it wasn't a big fish but nice to hook something different, I thought.
