For those many years that I lived in the Snowy Mountains region of NSW loch style fishing for trout was absolute favourite fishing preference. This is my check list of items I take on every trip when targeting trout on fly from boat.
I keep my emergency kit in a small orange zip lock bag. It does have just enough first aid items to get by but most of the content are items you may need in an emergency.
From the year 2000 and up until we moved to Gladstone in Central most of my fishing was with fly. Since moving to CQ my fishing has been quite different and with “tongue in cheek” I have basically called it fishing on the dark side.
One of my favourite past times is dusk and night fishing for big barramundi in Lake Awoonga. To be successful in the dark it’s important to have the right gear at hand and knowing where each item is.
One of the most important things I learned in my competition fishing career was the importance of not forgetting to have items on hand that I needed in a competition session.
