I fish Carcoar Dam from a kayak, and never caught a trout! but lots of "big" redfin.

Staying there this Oz long weekend… been there before with my dog, so fishing wasn’t on the cards then, but this time is 100% fishing lol…

Beautiful

You went a fair way up river? Did you make it to Emu Flat Creek? When we were kids we hiked / fished all the way to Dubbo Creek Falls. Back then (1980’s) there were monster trout everywhere. I remember when the trout would all line up under Jones’ Bridge on Tumut river. You could look down and literally see dozens of trout. That’s where I hooked my first trout with a mate from primary school.

Got to love boss outdoor

Great stuff. How many fish did you get?

Nice Home, Just WOW!

Please try and be less explicit about the locations you fish. Great descriptive content in your videos, you can inspire further research for those willing to explore. These are obviously pretty well known places but heavy influx can put extra pressure on the fishery. Not trying to argue, just offering a perspective. Best wishes

Thank you. I was recently checking these out at Compleat Angler - still undecided v full waders. Waders are the most frustrating pieces of gear we buy. Top shelf or medium price; all leak.

Where did you get those magnifying glasses that clip onto the cap?

No waterproof pockets to put your phone & keys?

10' rod in such tight quarters and overhanging vegetation?! I would have used a 6'6" or a 7' rod, bamboo even better. However, well done!

Last time I fished that stretch was during the rains of 2022. Nearly killed ourselves clambering over those housed-sized granite boulders. Slippery suckers...

Its not a successful trip without you falling over at least once 😬

A river worth re-visiting.

Wonderful place. Grow up in scone Looking out from the lookout very unforgiving terrain. Little wonder they can't find those poor fellows in the plane.

Great to see your boys enjoying the fishing. Pretty stream.

Gotta love the classic Aussie pub after a long day's fishing - helps make the trip memorable!

Nice trip mate up into my local streams. It's just been so dry that even seeing a fish is a bonus, so well done. The streams near your bnb practically dried up last summer, so I'd say that there'd be close to no fish left. Higher up on the Tops, not so bad...

Mate nice vid you've got quality content well done! I'll be up there in a few weeks with my gopro 🤞

The hairdryer at that b&b will get some use whist you stay there 😂 Secrets to Grants flies…. You gotta pay attention to colour 😊

Merry Christmas. Haven’t fished Barrington area for a few years; found a couple of rainbows early in season. Interestingly, from a book on the Hunter River, it had a piece that the White family (from Belltrees), in early 1900’s, brought trout from VIC by train to release and fish the upper Hunter. I guess the hot summers took their toll.

Thank you M’lord for some quirky, informative and entertaining episodes. The blend of location and the reality of fly fishing an excellent format. The gadgets/rods/gear interesting. Merry Christmas.

Nice area. I like impoundments in the summer, and generally after 10 pm as the thermocline rises towards the surface…. Bringing with it active fish. Merry Xmas to you and your family.

I reckon if I were a tortoise, everyone would talk to me nicely, call me buddy, etc., etc. Alas . . . . 😂 Pretty skinny water . . . one would easily find one's self skunked in that.

Summer water levels. A lot of the streams round my place are like that too with zero trout left. Keep exploring though.

Admirable effort gentlemen 👏👏👏

Nice one Rob, have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year mate! Looking forward to watching more of your videos next year.

Love it! Merry Christmas LG. Fat tiger central!

I was camping at Perkins Flat the other weekend in that massive downpour… had the river come up very quickly. At 2:35 i was fishing that spot and a massive tree came down off that ridge into the water and scared the crap out of me lol… was quite an effort getting out after some washouts. Great spot though…

Good man Robert, well done on a self guided day.

Enjoy your videos. I am wondering about your approach to using Sunline leader (greased?) as the basis of your set up. Is there more information you could direct me to?

Good stuff LG! Will be fascinated by the next instalment on the Fish, how EN performed….OR whether you simply retired to the Tarana pub after the weather hit! Glad you’re giving the micro leader a whirl…it can make a difference to your hookup rate in my limited experience ( but I’m no expert!!) .

Great bloke, Grant, and a true example of good old-fashioned Aussie hospitality!

Memories that cannot be taken away fellas. Enjoyed your trip 😎🤙🇦🇺

Holy crap LG, poor Spencer. That was a fair ⚡️ to the old 🥎!!! Not planning on becoming a grandpa!!!!😅😅

Another entertaining video, nice one Rob!!! I remember you said that you got a pair of Skwala waders, how have you found the brand quality? I've just ordered a Skwala Thermo 350 Hoody, I'm hoping that the quality is going to be good.

Always enjoy the your videos mate, descriptive and easy to watch. That would have been Jupiter you were looking at I believe. Fantastic part of the world to be fishing during the day and having a quick look at the stars at night - might be time to add a small telescope to your kit!

Hi when do the skwala pants become too warm trout fishing? Is there a time that the orvis ones are more versatile when it’s not super cold out

What an epic looking stretch of river.

Great drone footage Robert, what a spectacular place. Was gonna make the Allambie to Long Plain pilgrimage myself until they shut it up for the Brumby cull. Planning on trying again soon though...hope I do a bit better with the trout but. Great video.

Beautiful location, I hope the fishing is good. White Cockys tend to chew on peoples houses in my neighbourhood 😅

great fun! well done boys :)

There really needs to be a season bought in on them bloody birds,they have decimated fish numbers in a lot of waters down here in Tassie! Enjoy the vids Robert,thanks for your time sharing 👍

Black Cormorant spotted: Option 1 pack up and leave. Option 2 abandon coving the "classic holding water", use long leaders, fish shallow pockets and edges, be super super stealthy, and don't expect to catch many. Its a great spot though blue water holes. So glad you got out of Perkins when you did given the weather bomb that hit later that week...suspect you would be coming out now if you stayed.....hmmmm was it the right decision!!? 😂😂

Those Cormorants have much to answer for. Shame the iguana didnt take a dry 😉

You don't need a fishing pack, you need a lunch box.

Beautiful river though pity about the size of the fish. Could definitely benefit from taking a few for the table as this helps thin numbers out and allows the remaining trout to grow into more sizeable trout. Many anglers will oppose this view but it is being advocated in Tasmania at the moment as there is an overabundance of small trout in many waterways.

9:18 weird noise was a Sambar deer honk. Interesting that they are now in the valley.

Hi Rob,I really enjoy watching your channel,I learn a lot and you show your viewers some stunning country with a few chuckles along the way,thanks for the effort and energy you put into your channel.I suspect that weird noise is a deer honking,cheers Damian👍
