| Johnno's new 8wt fly rod *Reel turned up today, so i'll have to get a new photo! |
It was waiting for him at the Broome Post Office on our last trip in for supplies, so he got to try it out at Price’s Point.
Very first cast he hooked a Queen fish!!! As seen on Day One YouTube Clip: Day one fishing at JPP
Here’s a clip of the fish Johnno has been catching on his new little 8wt. Starting off with little Dart around the rocks. Trevalley off the beach, but had his GoPro set too high so you don’t really get to see them. Some more smaller Trevalley. Then the cream of the crop, a you-beaut Salmon off the beach, which made great curry and was lovely with tomatoe salad (Yes I got my Salmon and Tomatoe salad meal I‘d been dreaming of, as mentioned in earlier blog).

| Johnno breaks in his new 8wt rod with this beauti salmon! |
I’ve had to drastically edit the footage, or you would be watching a bent rod for an hour. The 8wt rod makes for fun fishing, even with the little fish, but it takes some time to get them in. So here is a ‘quick’ look at what Johnno was catching week one at Price’s Point on the new birthday rod:
The good thing about posting blogs weeks after they have happened (due to no internet service where we were camped), is I can add more to them! Johnno kept fishing with his new 8wt fly rod, catching HEAPS of fish, check out this Queen fish he landed: Queen fish on 8wt
