grew up fishing with my dad on this river (age 12), it's much bigger than I remembered! Love the drone shots (and the dog), have no idea where this is, I can only remember driving done weird roads to the quarry with long gravel runs and a lovely stretch wadable above that. Love it.

[@AboveWorryLevelFlyFishing]

Yep - changed a bit since then - only special folk can get through the quarry these days. Still a great river to fish. Thanks for dropping by.

Used to drift through the gravel roads on the way to cliff and rangers pool. Loved to mix WRC with fly fishing...what's not to love in the 70s.

@@peterbischof8520 See above reply.One of the reasons they gated the road.Thanks.

A great combination of Aerials & Big Rainbow fishing sequences on a wonderfully scenic River!!

[@AboveWorryLevelFlyFishing]

Thanks Wes - we had a good time. Managed to delete 2 days of footage though!!

[@peterbragg]

That was an epic video, it's not always about the fish, you are showing the many stories of a great day on a river, loved it Chris.
