Took my mate’s father Jeff fly fishing today and had a relatively hard day on River 4 beat 9. The river was extremely low and the normal holding areas in riffly water were actually pretty low. Jeff hasn’t fished for 4 years. I caught 2 smallish rainbows of a 2 to 3 pounds, could see several in spawing mode chasing each other in the big pool. We didn’t fish this beat for two long and ended up spending more time walking and looking for fishable water as the low flow had limited the options a bit. We went to river 4 beat 4 after briefly and Jeff managed to hook a nice 3 and half pound rainbow in the 5 minutes we fished there – there was a group of people fishing above us who had probably already fished the water so we moved on. Finished up at O where I caught an OK brown and rainbow on the normal midge pattern. There was a little flow and low clear conditions.
