    Fantastic job, well worth the wait. I see you are in Perth so are you salt water fly fishing or down south catching trout?

    I find myself saving on those pemberton trips to venture further abroad. my next trip is to fish the whitebait feeders in tasmania, 22 sept.

    but in saying that I am looking forward to heading down south after all this rain stops.
    I know... be mindful of what you wish for...

    cheers,
