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 👍
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…
@@-Awareness Oh - wow - what an experience - you have pretty well confirmed that we were wise to retreat from the valley when we did, before the downpour - thanks for confirming!
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!!? 😂😂
@@anthonyclark6118 Thanks for confirming - I suspect that would be the case - I had issues driving with the caravan on dirt roads in the area the day after the storm - BMW tyres are wide, but don’t clear mud well…

What an epic looking stretch of river.
@@MrDcostelloe Yeah - I know - I was really struck by the grandeur of the place…

I was there in that weather bomb… was definitely an experience lol… river came very quickly….
Those Cormorants have much to answer for.
Shame the iguana didnt take a dry 😉
@@adzoutnabout888 Do you really think that the Cormorants are responsible for the shocking river fishing so far this season? Can it really be so?
@ there are Podcasts about it.
I know the big black cormorants can eat larger trout up to 3lbs.
They also decimate stocked dams.
