Fly from the rocks
« on: April 18, 2014, 08:02:16 PM »
Now where really to post this in other sub forums so guess this will have to do...





9wt GLoomis NRX rod, Hatch 9 reel, Sci Angler Sharksin float 9wt and popper...


Hard work when the temp is 36C and humidity at 80% at 6:00


My biggest fish on fly to date...







Back she goes...

Thanks guys,


The GoPro is limited to your battery life.


I run a 64MB SD card so you can put a lot of video on it...
