Episode 26 - We open up talking about our Bushfire Auction and how its going to work. Please keep your eye on our FaceBook Page to follow the auctions and bid.... please dig deep!!
On this show we talk impoundment Barramundi with Doctor Awoonga himself, Trevor Burgess. Trevor lives at Lake Awoonga and is a full time lure maker (Happy Rock Softies) and off water fishing consultant. The reason we have him on the show is that Trevor has a great ability to find fish, and has a very proven track record of tank Barra that have graced the deck of his boat over many years. Trevor's teachings can be translated to any type of fishing and most certainly to any Barra impoundment. Although Trevor doesn't fish fly, we wanted to highlight the possibilities for impoundment Barra by talking about how to find them and how to present to them and how very realistic fly fishing for impoundment Barra actually is when you can reduce the size of any impoundment by studying their behavior and then adapting to it with Flyfishing techniques.
