That fish in close at 5:10 was so exciting - and such superb fishing - chapeau 👏🏾 - how did you hold your nerve? - I love all of your videos, and learn something from every one - double dry flies with the Possum Dun Brown - who would have though? - thanks as always for taking us along on your adventures…

G'day gadget, glad you thought the same thing! The fish at 5:10 was such a weird occurrence - I thought he would see me for sure when I was trying to retrieve my line to cast at him. I must have just been lucky to approach at the perfect angle - or perhaps he was just getting a bit old and blind :P The two possums duns were shown to me by an old fella on one of the lakes - he was kind enough to give me two of the flies he uses as well. A size 12 (possum dun) on the top fly followed by 40cm of tippet to a size 14. (possum dun) The top fly will kind of hold while the bottom fly swings around off the back of it. Gives the fish options on size. Caught on both flies but the bottom fly, size 14 got a few more. Tbh I king of wished a fished the possums duns a bit earlier in the trip - it was rare for the fish ton refuse them.

@@p3p_flyfishing How do you keep track of the Possum Duns? I struggle to see dry flies that unless they have a bit of white - which is why I have fished the Cat 3 Chernobyl UV so much recently - it is just so easy for me to see - that said, I know that I need to practice more with smaller dry flies - I do have some Parachute Adams (#14, #16, #18) in my stash, which are a lot smaller, but have some white so that I can sort of see them - can you actually see your flies or do you just know where your flies are on the water based on years of experience?

Any video that starts with the words "good fish" is off to a great start! Another spot I had to google! Looked fantastic. Did you get to weigh the big fella? I've thrown a few possum emergers into my box but havent used them, yet. Funny enough I got the idea from one of the Tassie books. Looked like a nice trip p3. So many places ... hope life is good. Cheers PP

Cheers PP ! If I recall he was a bit of 3.5lb. The possum duns were deadly - and super easy to tie. I'm keen to test them in the snowys. Just got back from a hectic trip into some rough country. Has to be some of the best waters I've ever seen - unfortunately the fishing was super ordinary. Still nice to get out into nature. You manage to get down that way for Easter with the boy and wife?

@@p3p_flyfishing Unfortunately boy wonder sabotaged the last trip by falling off his ebike and wrecking a hoof. Most inconsiderate. She who knows whats best for me is currently cruising the Alps looking for smarter men while I man the fort. Hopefully down to Vic for the hols. Your wilderness expeds are always interesting, lots of snakes of unusual size, lost rods of despair, mostly dead river crossings... I'll keep an eye out for the next instalment! 😀

What size and length leader do you usually run when fishing lakes?
@p3p_flyfishing
5 ай бұрын
like everything it can depend - to keep it simple I generally just fish a 9ft 4x leader. From there I can add tippet as required, however I generally wouldn't fish 5-6x on a lake unless you are possibly fishing midges to super fussy fish.
