Only 3 more sleeps and then the river fishing season is open here on the Victorian trout fishing rivers. Winter is a long bitter cold bastard of a thing and the struggling fly angler has to make do with a selection of wide open wind blown lakes when really all he wants to do is get back to the rivers. New batches of nymphs, carefully tied during the winter have been arranged in the fly box according to color, size and weight, dry fly boxes have been pulled out of the storage drawers in anticipation of the possibility (however remote) of the odd early hatch. Best of all the anticipatation of getting back into the mountains among the trees and into the small streams is rising to fever pitch. Just 3 more sleeps and I can hardly wait that long! It's been a long winter.

Cabin Lake

An outstanding day at Millbrook yesterday, sunshine, moving fish and good company, it dosnt get any better. A recent photo illustrates just how nice this spot is, so much better than my blather can. As an aside, the cabin was recently used as a filming location for the "Nightmares & Dreamscapes" series that was shown in the USA.
