Like American bass, they love dry flies - dear hair or foam work well - we use the more natural ones for clear water & spooky fish.
A wild stream about 8 hours drive north of Sydney - then it's an overnight walk - this is easily one of the best wild bass waters in Oz
This is a big fish for a small stream - for scale, the guy holding the fish is 6'5 and we call him 'big rig'
This is on the Napean river on the western side of Sydney - the fish are small, but it's close and a nice place to have a float on a summer afternoon.
