Hi all,

Went for a bit of a walk thru some pretty rough terrain to get to one of my fav spots, not known for big fish but usually a few to be caught.

Started off a bit slow with conditions perfect, fished for over an hour for the first hit which is unusual in such great conditions.

I fished & fished & fished & fished a bit more.

1st hit results.

Camera crew got bored and took a few scenic shots as requested a few days back, just hope this spot doesnt get crowded after the report, but it's hard to get to so most wont recognise it anyway.

Small waters that dont need crowds, but if you're prepared to put in hard yards the fish are there.

The north easter hit stong and hard so the evening surface lure sesh was called off, bloody shame really as I had just got a package in the mail friday night that really needed to hit the water.

Tuesday night I'll be doing it all again, but in my yak at spot x-7.3.

Cheers, Allan

Um man thats like dream country right there, must have been a decent trek to get to a spot like that I hope you keep it well hidden, no beer bottles or lure wrappers in sight ( Easier said than done I know )... Magnificant surroundings, was there any snakes about?

You make Mick Dundee look like Ronald Mcdonald, if I didnt know what Canberra surroundings looked like I would think these photos were taken in the far NSW north west or somewhere like that.

Amazing to think these places lie on my front door, be that 30km away or not its a special thing... Well done again mate, Do you do requests? Catch us a monster yella next time!

Great report.

Nice report Allan...........glad you got a green fish for the day.....I tried the usual rock wall at Yerrabi pond, shoulder to shoulder and a few people drinking too many beers..........then I look at your photos! beautiful!

I am thinking I might have to not be so lazy and actually walk some waterways for a change! I usally drive right to the spot and only have to take 5 steps to wet my line!

Have you had any experiance walking north of Urriara crossing? I have fished there before but only produced carp! however no more than 1km upsteam from the car park, I feel I should keep venturing up one nice afternoon!

It's good to read your posts again and hear the stories, and it must be a pleasure to actually get to post about something you are passionate about and enjoy doing!

And the stories coming out of LBG sound awesome, if you can get your lure past the plague of redfin that is...

I don't get up to Canberra as much as I would like, but the sister in law now lives up there so no doubt I will be taking a road trip or two this year (under she who must be obeyed's orders) and I might just have to chuck the yak on the roof.

And if you ever get the urge to head down to Mulwala etc, let me know and I'll make you more than welcome. You'll just need to show me how to catch the fish.

That invite extends to all the Canberra crew.

Yes mate it's awesome being able to post, share stories and pics without getting mobbed by the usual suspects, I'm really impressed with the way this site is, just hope they all get used to my sick sense of humour.

If you come up be sure to get in touch, I might be able to help out with a few tips to get you onto them in Mulwala.

Cheers, Allan

Hay Funda. Any spot for me some time next year? On a few occations I have been walking the hole day (8 till late) after natives at Googong so the hike does not bother me. I was there this weekend again but the weed is getting out of hand. Cant find an opening any more. Next time I will take my yak to Googong. Had one big fish on that pulled hard on the tight 4kg drag but I think I tore the hook out.
