| Trout Cod from the fast water in the background |
I arranged with Kanck last night to head out to the creek again this morning. The plan was to head out at 5.30am and come back at 11am.

| One of my favourite lure patterns! |
Once we were on the water we decided to head straight up to the weir because it has been such a consistant area for the last week or so. We pulled up on either side of the fast water and within 5 cast a nice Trout Cod smashed my 70ml AC. It put up a nice little fight, as you would expect from this species.

| Kanck hooked up! |
A while later Kancky was wading accross the rapids and almost stepped on two or three Trout cod that were sitting in the rapids in plain site in about 2 feet of water. He would have only been one meter away from them. I ran my AC through the rapid where they were sitting and to our suprise one of them actually had a massive swipe at the lure, but unfortunatly it didn't hook up. Even without the hook up it was still one of the most amazing things I have seen while fishing! Unbelieveable!
Ended up pulling another 5 fish between us for the morning, with the most interesting point being that four of these fish were taken from the really turbulent white water right at the bottom of the weir wall, this was the last place I would expect to see active natives!

| Kanck and the only Murray Cod of the day |
The fishing over the past few days has been sensational and bizaar, we have been catching fish in places where native fish are just not expected to be. Niether of us could figure out why they would be where they are, perhaps they are either trying to move up the river or it could be something to do with thier spawning routines. Either way it is rather peculiar!
We planned to head back out on Friday and have a big scout around to see what effect the floods have had further downstream, and hopefully tangle with a big fella!
