Kolan River Barramundi and exploring

I have long looked forward to exploring the Lake Monduran/Kolan River area and I finally made some time for a solo trip (no wife or kids) to give me plenty of fishing time. I trekked down late morning to allow time to set up the tent and familiarise myself with the launch site for the following day. This video shows the first evening and day one of the trip.
The first evening proved quiet, with eels and catfish cruising about. The following day involved plenty of exploring and a couple of Catfish landed, then watching Barramundi swim about in the shallows before a hot session as a shower passed through while the cameras tired.
It took a while to get the bite, but was great while it lasted, followed by a damp trek back to the car. Exploring this area was very enjoyable and finding the barra topped it off perfectly.

Thanks mate. It was a bit of a trek. I launched at Monduran Rd bridge and paddled and portage upstream to the last pool.

Quotes never heard in a fishing video until now - No one wants to paddle in a colon

He he, glad someone picked it up...

Hey nice work, I have just recently moved to the area and was wondering if you can access these waterholes near the dam. Do you know if you can launch a tinnie in that top pool as it looks like there is access at the Eastern end via the quarry road.Thanks

[@adsyak]

It does look like it on maps, however, it's private property so access is via landowner permission only I reckon. I was questioned about being there until I told them I made my way up the river, then there was no issue.
