    Weekend Away...hanging & fishing, Australia

    The trout season opened 6 hours south of my home this weekend, needing some major time management skills & family promises to get my trouty fix...

    Caught the tail end of a blustery cold front blowing freezing winds & horizontal rain showers.
    Setting up camp with watering eyes blurring my vision, numb lifeless fingers trying to thread rap rings & a slow brain took 3 times longer than normal.
    Tested a recently purchased HH tarp, simular size to the std issue, just with more tie downs points which was what i wanted...& came in real handy.



    Fish were hungry.......



    Time out to feed my hunger.....



    Sluggish inhabitant...


    Start of the long road trip back home....


    Good to get away from the hussle & bustle....
    With only a small price to pay...hopefully.

    Appears to me this Hanging/ Fishing thing is a world-wide epidemic. Looks like you had a great getaway. Thanks for sharing.

    Looks awfully pretty. Sorry to hear about the cold and your issues with it, but it still beats a day at work. And I sure hear you on the bills!

    I need to make my way down there some time; I've got a friend in Sydney that I've not seen in a decade.

    What did you wind up making for lunch in that photo there? It looks good!
