Midge Rod Fishing at White House & Lower Peirce

White House And Lower Peirce
Had a few hours free time this afternoon. Missed fishing this morning because of the downpour. So I went down to the White Houses and have a go at the big Peacock Basses. Also went to investigate some splashing inside the cove where the worker’s boat was moured. There were big tomans there. I managed to catch a glimpse of a huge blue toman chasing the peacock basses. A pink kalui made me wasted half an hour trying to entice it with a humpy dry fly without success.

Then made my way to Lower Peirce. The place was crowded as usual, with children catching yabbies. So went to the board walk and caught a few small peacock basses. At the dam, a pod of Peacock Basses were having a party. Anthony and his friend could not catch any of them. I didn’t dare risk casting in the crowded area. But managed to catch a few smaller peacock basses with roll casts.
