We went down to Pemberton for trout fishing on Tuesday. We tried for an hour or so, but we got no fish (actually we didn't see any) on places where I thought we would at least see fish (my friend told me today that he got some fish a couple of weeks ago, so it sounds like we were on a wrong place on a wrong time).
So, we drove further to Walpole to catch bream and other usual estuary fish, but we got no fish either. The whole estuary was black and looked like the gulf of Mexico after the oil spill.
It wasn't oil there though. It is because of three feeding rivers carrying so much tannin stain into the estuary. When we go to Walpole just before Christmas, and the water is already clear. So, I guess we were just too early.
Anyway, the only exciting thing of this trip was a chocolate macadamia nuts tart that I got from a local bakery in Walpole. It was yummy but with a hefty price of $5.80 (which shows how much inflation is happening in Australia) and I drove nearly 1000km (500km each way) to get it.
