Goulburn River Oct 2010

 A beautiful Goulburn River Brown Trout - my first ever!!  I've fished the Goulburn once before and caught nothing.  This weekend away it poured rain and the river was the colour of coffee.  This fish was caught in the last hour of the last day we were away.  The gold bead nymph firmly wedged in the top lip can be seen above.
 Stormy skies of Thorton where we set up camp at the Goulburn Fly Fishing Lodge.
Coffee coloured waters of the Goulburn where the brown trout above was caught.  Notice the stream on the right flowing into the Goulburn has clear water.  The fish was caught sitting on the edge of the clear water running into the Goulburn.

Hi David, ever heard of catch and release?
