    Nailing those trout! Yes, those CNOC bags are the best. I like the fact that one can open the end of the bag with the handle/slide closure and easily fill the bag. Place your filter of choice on the other end and filter away. I bought two of the 3 liter bags and keep one in my kit at all times. I'll just hang the bag up if able and place my wide mouth water bottle under the filter end and go about other camp chores while keeping an ear out for the progress of the pour. When I don't hear the water falling in the bottle anymore I know it's time to check it. ;-) Great location btw! The American 19th century woodsman, George Washington Sears a.ka. Nessmuk wrote in his book, "Woodcraft and Camping" that simple ingredients and simple cooking of them is best for the outdoorsman. ( like your trout and potatoes) George was born the next town over from where I live and grew up playing amongst the local Nipmuc native American tribe camped on the nearby, Webster Lake (Char­gogg­a­gogg­man­chaugg­a­gogg­chau­bun­a­gung­a­maugg in their native tongue) in Webster, MA. As a young adult he moved to Wellsboro, PA. I don't know if you've ever read his book, but I find it one that I repeatedly read not only for the useful information contained in its pages, but it always takes my mind back to a time when areas of America were a much wilder place with far fewer people and much more game and fish. The book is available on Amazon in paperback for very short money. Great video!

    Those big pools with the scrubby areas are where you want to fish mate, for that situation you could try extending your leader and adding a float or a second bigger fly, floating it down into there from upstream. Good to see you getting some catches, those big fella's are hiding in those big pools. Looking forward to seeing you catch a donkey one day! Also, 11:33, the bottom of that fall- bigger fish will sit there.

  • @kimberleybruce39

    Love these adventures! We’ve been using our CNOC bag/sawyer squeeze combo for about 2.5 years now and we can’t fault it! Flow rate hasn’t slowed down either, we just do a few washes/back flush with demineralised water after a trip and it’s all good. No calcium/crud build up etc.
    Just remember to pop the filter into your sleeping bag on those cold nights so the membrane doesn’t freeze on this one 😂

    Classic Australian trout fishing. That's a lovely stretch of river. Further upstream I once spent almost an hour casting to a small trout in a pool under a willow (the willow is probably gone now). I tried almost every fly in the box; eventually the fish took a small emerger fly. Small fish but it kept me amused for a long time. :)

    the largest (megahorn) with the woodstove inside has become favourite for winter car camping
    used it up at 3 mile dam and bogong high plains in middle of this year
    sheds snow very well, resists strong wind better than a dome and is super cosy inside
    for hiking the smallest hexpeak is just that, small
    but the next size up hexpeak is good

    Hi Scotty, super enjoyable video the fishing was epic. Its great to see you enjoying the fly fishing, theres definitely a time and a place for it and you got both right that time.😃 The fish you were missing on the strike was perhaps your haste and anticipation to lift the rod, take a breath and then do - it could make a difference😉 -Any way Im loving the vids and I couldnt help but be jealous of your location once again😃🤟.........Alex

      The great thing about Australia, too, is that we have no bears, no wolves, no moose, no mountin lions and nobody with a gun for hundreds of miles... None of our animals can chase and eat you like in North America, so hiking and fishing and camping in Australia is incredibly safe unlike where you are...
