Swan River Flathead
Submitted by Bench on Sat, 2012-11-24 02:02
Weather was looking gloomy yesterday but decided to head down to the area south of the river to try my luck with the flatties. Finally started picking them up around 630 in the evening. Hit a total of 5 within the hour, longest was 35cm. All were released. Good luck fishing!

Great result for a short session. Can't wait to get into them myself; soon.
The best reason for doing what's right today is tomorrow.

Thanks guys.Was using a
Thanks guys.
Was using a Nissin Curtis egging stick, and the lure's a DUO tetraworks bivi. Its a vib that i just bump off rocks at the bottom of shallows, i tend to just reel them straight in instead of twitching them up and dropping them on the slack.

cheers for that :) one tip
cheers for that :) one tip though, remove the splitt ring from the top, looks more natural and its only another thing can go wrong.
