[@aguyandhistroopy]

Thanks Martin for the kind words, you’re definitely not going to get much in the way of cooking or fishing in my videos, most people know that by now !! 🤦🏽🤣 But that’s what I’m trying to achieve is showing people so different locations, so hopefully you guys can decide if it’s worth going to and hopefully if you do, you won’t have as many brain fart and f@&k ups as I do !! 🤷🏼🤣 Thanks for watching again and continuing to comment.

Top stuff Gav, drone footage was great, beautiful country...as for the fishing...well, don't feel too bad. I started fly fishing about 30 years ago, I've caught 3 trout ! Admittedly I mainly fish the rocks in Sydney for Blackfish but that's a pretty low strike rate for mine. Keep up the good work mate.

[@aguyandhistroopy]

Thanks Mate. It was beautiful country. I was actually going to buy a cheap fly rod and have a crack, then at least I can say I’m just learning. 🤷🏼 3 trout in 30 years, fair chance a this rate I’ll be around the same. Honestly since I’ve started YT I have caught much at all, to worried about the cameras I reckon. Thanks Yipman for tuning in again. 👍🏼

Great to see a bit of research on the hut! They are pretty impressive.

[@aguyandhistroopy]

I’m glad I walked in to it, think a lot of people don’t actually know it’s there. Reckon you have to hand it to the old timers, they would have done it hard, but they wouldn’t have complained like we do these days. Thanks for watching 👍🏼

[@Damo1234Arn]

I went there on Wednesday at 11pm at night Used google maps and just followed the navigation and worked fine

[@aguyandhistroopy]

Yeah Damo, that’s definitely the easy way to get there. But I’m know for taking different tracks, turns and often getting lost and finding new things. I must admit this time it was a genuine mistake. But since that mistake I have found a few more good locations - huts in that area by viewers contacting me. So all is not lost. ‘ Its not about the destination it’s about the journey ‘ Cheers for watching mate, and taking the time out to comment. 👍🏼

[@reddustadventures]

Great vid mate. I feel ya pain when it comes to snapping rods. Devastating hey. Another well constructed video Looks like a great spot. Great little hut. Gotta love a Snagga Cook up. On point 👌😜 Thanks for the Merch Represent Brother. Keep up the great work. And stay away from the snags mate. They will swallow those lures everyday of the week 😜👌

[@aguyandhistroopy]

Cheers Brad and Fi. It was an old rod, probably a blessing as I now have 2 yes 2 rods to replace that one and more suitable for trout, not that it will help me catch a trout.🤦🏽🤣 It was a cracking spot, awesome river and the hut was well worth the walk. A part from a fair few f@$k ups on my behalf it was a great trip, and the snags were on point. 👍🏼 Thanks for tuning in guys. Appreciate the support 👌

[@mort8143]

Always good Krusty. Your woes remind me of cooking snags on a rusty old spade 'cause we forgot a frying pan, or a mate absentmindidly bringing two rod ends, but no stock. Ha Ha. I fished the Gungarlin 35 years ago. My old man fly fishing upstream from your spot, me, downstream with small 'Rooster Tail' lures. Almost every cast hooked a 10 inch Brown trout. Open plains bordering the river, me simply wading midstream. All catch and release, just fun. The Gungarlin is the highest river in Australia. Sounds like Snowy 2's big drill bit isn't stuck anymore? Enjoy all your travels digger. 👍👍👍

[@aguyandhistroopy]

Thanks Mort, yeah they reckon it’s still a good river to fish, I just had no luck as usual. Some good memories there for you mate. 👌 Pretty sure it’s moving again but I’m not certain. It’s a different part of the job to where I’m working.

[@mort8143]

​@@aguyandhistroopyfair enough. I do remember thinking we'd taken the wrong track by going straight ahead along the powerlines, instead of turning right down the track you first took. Lucky us. Old man had a Nissan Patrol. There was a bulldozer clearing the powerlines firebreak at the time. Rough track, but worth the effort. Happy Jack's track was always a shortcut temptation coming from Victoria if the gate was open. 😀👍

Glad to see you're still getting out there man. Going through some stuff myself right now, hope all is well on your side of the world and things are improving. Hoping I see you get into some fish next time!

Thanks mate … it’s good therapy, prob be even better if I did take the cameras. I hope you’re getting through it, if it helps mate you can flick me a message on Messenger, I’m a long way away but I’m all ears. I also hope I get onto some trout soon. 🤦🏽 Thanks for watching Keep well 👍🏼

[@wanderingoglethorpe]

@@aguyandhistroopy You know I find myself thinking that at times. And then when I have a good day/trip I'm always kicking myself for not bringing them! It's a tough balance, especially when you have other things going on distracting you and you just want to get out and enjoy it. I might just do that (send a message) once things settle a bit. I have a lot of support coming in but it can get a bit overwhelming at times, might be good to get an outside perspective. If I was a better trout fisherman I'd send you some tips. I've caught a few fly fishing but honestly I've had my best luck with inline spinner baits like Mepps (Number 3 and smaller) and an ultra lite spinning rod, not sure if y'all have them out your way but they seem to work good. You too man, be safe out there.

[@aguyandhistroopy]

@@wanderingoglethorpe it’s good you have some support. But feel free to drop me a message on Messenger or Instagram mate. I always bring the cameras, I’m afraid I’ll miss some good content. 🤦🏽 it’s whether it makes the cut or not, and if it doesn’t I’m sorry on myself for not enjoying myself more. Definitely a tough balance. Can’t say I’ve heard of the lures you’re talking about. But I’ve gone to a couple lightweight rods since I snapped that rod, lot more suited to trout fishing rather then estuary fishing. Keep well, speak soon. 👍🏼

[@rodgeorge7244]

Nice spot that's for sure gotta love the Snowy Mountains.

[@aguyandhistroopy]

You forgot the Z in the name of the park mate :)

Yeah so I did. I reckon it’s auto spell check thing. Always drops the Z 🤦🏽. Well on my iPhone anyway.

Funny How the Best Spots are Found when We Get Lost.........That's Probably a Really Good Spot (at the Farmers Bridge) to try and Catch a Fish (Lack of Tourists).

[@aguyandhistroopy]

I have a habit of getting lost, I don’t normally do enough research. Yeah, it had a ladder over the farmers fence, I should have fished there as no trees around! 🤦🏽🤣

[@BS21BS21]

Another good one mate. You running a fridge or just eski ? Cheers

[@aguyandhistroopy]

Normally run fridges but they had been playing up, so I was running esky’s for this trip while I was purchasing a new fridge. I always like a bit of ice for the whiskey, so a esky is always handy. 👍🏼

[@BS21BS21]

@@aguyandhistroopy yeah mate I have my fridge . But run small eski with ice also , can’t beat beers off ice . 👌🏽

[@aguyandhistroopy]

@@BS21BS21 I use a yeti rambler 1 gallon for my ice for my whiskey, I make small blocks in the freezer at home, they last 5 plus day.

Hey mate. One of my friends from the Newcastle area told me about your videos. I am enjoying watching them. Looks like a great spot. Do you come in on Nimmo road?

[@aguyandhistroopy]

@@sampeaches100 thanks for watching mate and make sure you thank your friend for me. 👍🏼🤣 Yeah, Nimmo Rd and onto Island Bend Firetrail from memory. Just make sure you keep following the transmission lines. It’s a good spot, meant to be some good trout fishing… well apparently! 🤦🏽🤷🏼

Hope Florence is moving again big fella 🎉

[@aguyandhistroopy]

Mmmmm. Not sure🤷🏼… I reckon it would have to be close by now.

[@AndyTom9999]

Hey, good stuff. What is that toilet roll holder that you used in the vid? Looks interesting.

[@aguyandhistroopy]

It’s called a ‘ Dunny Buddy ‘ it’s handy if ya going bush to do a shit, protects the roll and you can put it on the ground. There is one for paper towel called a ‘ Paper Pod ‘ I don’t think it’s as good. They are a little pricey, but they work. 👍🏼 Cheers for watching Andy. 🍻

I'd love to watch this with the young tacker. But after the 3rd f bomb I had to say maybe we watch uncle Krusty when you're a bit older 😅

[@aguyandhistroopy]

Sorry about that mate, I try to avoid it but it’s just apart of my vocabulary. I always edit out anything worse than the Fbomb. Hopefully you’ll be back one day soon tuning into Uncle Krusty again. 🤷🏼

[@Angler233]

@aguyandhistroopy all good Krusty. I've still been loving your content and then watch the PG stuff again with the little tacker.

[@Jimmcgregorphotography]

Hey Krusty more quality brain farts mate. I love you’re work mate. At least you’re videos are honest, real content. This shite happens to me all the time.

[@aguyandhistroopy]

Thanks Jim, I could have done with not snapping the rod, but it is what it is. It’s just life, no one perfect and I’m definitely far from it. 🤦🏽🤣 Appreciate you tuning and a leaving a comment 👍🏼

[@davidilott1319]

Out in the bush getting on the beers (Dosnt get any better than this) what's that saying , the worst day fishing is better than -----

[@aguyandhistroopy]

That’s it Dave. Why I wasn’t worried about all the bad luck that I was having, I’d just finished my 14 day swing at Snowy 2.0 and I was just happy to be out in the bush 4wding and camping. ( I won’t say fishing 🤦🏽 ) Thanks for tuning in.👍🏼

You must be the only person to trust a Toyota Handbrake. I lost count of how many times my 80 series handbrake was adjusted. The first time going through any sort of mud and The shitty thing was back to normal

[@aguyandhistroopy]

Funny that, I’ve never had an issue. Always just pull up and slam it on, guess I’ve been lucky, but it’s regularly adjusted. Its is the rear drums style of handbrake, think that are better then the newer styles. Cheers for watching Darren, and for the comment. 👍🏼

[@GlennPayne-z5x]

Bad news about the fishing! Maybe have a crack at fly fishing .... less hassles with expensive lures ...

[@aguyandhistroopy]

It’s always bad news for me Glenn🤦🏽 I have been thinking of getting a cheap fly set up to tell the truth. Might as well give it a crack, just looks a bit complicated for me. 🤷🏼 Cheers for watching and dropping a comment. 👍🏼

[@GlennPayne-z5x]

@@aguyandhistroopy don't go too cheap... you'll be upgrading ... mid range will do the job for many years.... then you'll be tying your own flies.... 5 weight rod and line good all rounder ...

[@aguyandhistroopy]

@@GlennPayne-z5x I’ll check them out. My uncle is trying to get me into the fly fishing.

[@kentitcume645]

I have watched a few KZbin clips on this place. It looks like a great spot although you may have thought a bit differently living in Davey’s hut in the dead of winter. Bad luck about the rod and lures. You are a tackle shop’s dream. It looked pretty mild. How long back did you film this if you don’t mind me asking. Once again a great production. Enjoyed the footage of the drive in.

[@aguyandhistroopy]

Hey mate, this was filmed in late Late November, it was when I filmed my stepping back from KZbin episode. It would have been bloody cold and a long horse ride to get supplies. Shit happens with the broke rod, now I have a couple more suitable for trout fishing but they still not helping me ! 🤦🏽 Cheers for watching 🍻
