    These are camp out affairs, using electric powered boats. The fishery is based on a 40 acre impoundment with lots of timber that the fish use to their advantage.

    Whilst most fish were in the 50-65cm class, as you can see some were substantially larger than that. You just never know…

    “production values of the site’s movies are REALLY high (this also goes for Aussie magazines and books – wonder what’s up with that?)

    Jimmy Barnes, Ian Moss and anything Cold Chisel. “Flame Trees”, “Khe Sanh” and “When The War Is Over” are firm favorites…

    I don;t have that model, but I do have the 8’6″ #5 and 9′ #6. I think you’ll find the sensitivity and power you are looking for in the #4. That’s what the S4’s are all about. Low sheen, to boot.

    I like to fish light. I miss products like the JW Outfitters Bonefish pack – enough room for a large C&F box, tippet, pliers and hook hone. Something built to withstand years of use, without being too big and bulky.

    I tie most of mine with bucktail, but when I use synthetics I use Ultra Hair – it hold up to teeth well. I’ve found softer synthetics tend to tangle.

    I’ve been using a Scott Warm Water Special #6 – nice rod for this kind of thing, but a different species of bream I think.

    Got him on a cockchafer beetle pattern – a foam beetle about as big as your index fingernail with rubber legs.

    Dave – Mayfly are the Australian Distributor of Scott rods, you’ll have to ask them. I’m sure they will loan you one if they have it in stock.

    Don’t look past the Scott S4 either – for me this is one of the great all-round freshwater fly rods on the market. I’m with Zach on the line weights – my personal collection stops at #3.

    Darrell, see if you can find a Scott E2 #6 on clearance – both the 9′ and 9’6″ are really nice rods in the #6. They were discontinued last year but you might still find some.

    Okay – looking at an electric – how many lbs thrust do people use? I can get 18, 44 or 54lb… My guess is 54lb will be overkill and 18lb not enough – any thoughts/experience?

    DA – I’m going to use it in Patterson Lakes, Victoria – google earth and take a look… As well as some of the coastal rivers for EPs and bream, lakes for Murray cod, trout etc – anywhere you’d use one of those float boats, really.

    Line management doesn’t seem to be an issue for me – I’m used to using a stripping basket and will sort something out. Maybe a swing basket on a post or something, but I’ll make it work… ;D

    Thanks for the replies, guys. The pontoons are dark green…

    Will look into the oar caddies.

    Is there such a thing as a light weight battery? Will have to check that one out. Can’t wait to get it on the water!
