Client Report - Ian Sambal & Crew

30/10/2014

0 Comments

 
Ian Sambal and his crew of 6 visited us again during October. Here's Ian's report....

"Once again we had a great trip to Millbrook. Fish to 6+ LB were landed and the standout day was on Tuesday at Siberia with Doddie.

3 anglers caught 13 fish, all in excellent condition and Peter Gadd almost got the Grand Slam with a Golden, Brown, and 2 Rainbows. All he needed was a Brookie.

My most enjoyable day was polaroiding along the edges at Baby Blue on Thursday. I hooked 4, landed 2 (pulled the hooks whilst trying to keep the fish out of the weed) and missed another one on the strike. Next time..... 

Jim has some photos for you and suggested I send you a photo of the 6+ Rainbow caught at Siberia.

The cabins were comfortable as usual and the crackling fire at night kept the conversation flowing over a red or two.

Regards

Ian"

Whitey's Warriors 2014

19/10/2014

Peter White and the “Whitey’s Warriors” crew made their annual October pilgrimage to Millbrook Lakes.

A new addition to the group was David Pugh – who landed his first fish on a fly. I’m sure we’ll see David again on the lakes.

The 4 days had a bit of everything. Cooperative fish. Tricky fish. Duns. No Duns. Polaroiding. Strong winds. Flat calm. Sun. Cloud. Hail. Just a normal few Spring days at Millbrook. There were quiet sessions but these were offset by some absolute glamour dry fly sessions – you just had to be in the right spot at the right time.

91 landed for the trip – with a healthy average weight. Biggest was 7 pounds!

Jimmy Allen led the team from the Australian Club for their annual visit.

18 anglers headed off to the lakes followed by a sumptuous late - 3.30pm - lunch.

25 x 2 to 5 pound trout were landed prior to lunch - on both dries and nymphs.  Craig Henderson won the prestigious Australian Club award for the largest fish of the day - with a 5 pound plus Rainbow.

See you next year boys!!

Macca's Drive Through

The proprietors of Millbrook Lakes – Mark Weigall and Jon Clewlow - ducked off to Macphersons Lake to see how it fished on a warm(ish) still, clear, blue-sky day. We usually only go there on dull days!!

Two 5 pounders on an emerger pattern and another of similar size on a Stuart Tripney nymph was a great result.

After things slowed down a little, Mark & Jon headed off to Blue Gum Lake – where it was going OFF on damsels……
