Sunday dawned a little overcast and with no winds the lake was like a mirror, water visibility was good and improved as the day brightened, however never reaching the promise of clear skies as indicated by the BOM. We hit the water at around 7am and as Trent convinced me to take the boat at short notice I thought I should at least offer him a seat (unlikely to be so generous again) and off we went to conquer the carp.
Trent was quickly onto a nice fish and after a battle of a few minutes the fish buried it's self in the weed and despite our best efforts a distance release was effected without fuss. That's one! This is good I am thinking, fish are hungry, obviously have the right fly, let's catch some fish. Ahhhh, Trent is on again, with a leader upgrade after the previous experience he soon muscled a 45cm fish into the boat for a quick photo and release. That's two! Oh gee Trent is on again, 55 cm this time and his grin was about the same size! That's three! One more distance release and another in the boat (net your own fish this time! ) had Trent gushing all over the boat, Grace and myself!!!
