Nothing as serene as a tree-fern lined Victorian stream IMO :). Thanks for the sknniny water lesson mate

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

Fantastic fishing mate. And a gorgeous little stream!

[@oscarbarreiro4266]

[@pentafishing]

It looks like a difficult but fun river.

Gorgeous water Tom. Always enjoy these small steams. Thanks. Cheers PP

Great water. Can I ask the reason for underlining your rod?

[@davidj.6525]

Wow, what a beautiful stream!

Hi Tom on this particular day what was your ballpark average (the median) length of a cast? Excluding several of the really smaller and longer casts.

[@tomjarmanfishing3208]

Maybe 20ft of fly line and then the 16 - 18ft of leader/tippet. Honestly, I have no idea because you are deliberately turning over different amounts of leader/ tippet on each presentation depending on the length of the drift you are aiming for

What an awesome river what is it called?
