Last w/end was a long weekend here in Oz.
Manage to slip away for an overnight camp & all day fish.
Arrived mid afternoon....made camp,set up my rod & headed upstream.
Weather,hot & sticky....36c - 96.8f and almost 100% humidity.Not a breath of wind.
A quick hour & a half of fishing before dusk. Fish were just as willing as on the last trip.It seems the weather was reading my mind,an afternoon storm rolled in, bringing much needed cool relief from the sauna like conditions.....before the light slowly faded away.

Pleasantly soak to the skin, I stared into the glow of the campfire,mesmerized,thoughts drifting..aimlessly.

Fresh new day.First rays of sunshine.Up & at them.A gin clear stream,more pretty fish,clear blue skies,& a relaxing,natural jacuzzi, just to loosen those rock hopping muscles,before turning round & heading back downstream to pack up camp & head home.
