XD351 Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Nice fish ! Used to fish the turon many moons ago - mid 80s early 90s and the last time I was there - nearly 3 yrs ago and I was struggling to find enough water in the river to cast a line into - were were down the turondale end .

rickmarlin62 Posted May 31, 2021 Author Share Posted May 31, 2021 There are carp nearly as far up as turon gates nut water gets too cold i think higher than that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big Neil Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Some bitter / sweetness about your post Rick. Would be a shame IF someone pillaged the place, any place for that matter. On the plus side you have had a great experience "hunting down your quarry" and been successful. Being out in such amazing, natural, wilderness; stealthily going about your business and using your skills to outwit your target species. That's an experience you don't get every day mate. Your photos are alive with their vibrance and certainly capture the essence of what you were doing. Top job! Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickmarlin62 Posted June 9, 2021 Author Share Posted June 9, 2021 Thanks neil i love catchin big fish but there is a certain thrill about tricking trout in clear still waters they are a magic fish anyone goin there this wknd will have to fight crowds the amount of footprints even 4kms upstream from where i parked was a give away there were half a doz campsites setup down yday maybe if the river is left alone till october it might be ok if fish move up or down but i will be goin to other spots down that way in future 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
