Hi Dave, nice to meet you last Wednesday at Second Valley jetty and get all your friendly advice on squid fishing. Melany caught one just after you left. Took your advice about the tide and went to Rapid Bay the next afternoon. Got 4 including 2 big ones. Thank you.

[@chrisrees4878]

I now live in Tasmania but I think I first met you when I worked and fished with your father when you first came to Australia. Your trout video reminded me when we fished in the Onparinka River near Clarendon back in 1970 or thereabouts. Your father caught a trout on a lure in the deep water against the bank.Your father was avery skilled fisherman and a great beliver in using gents

[@davidsheldonfishing9726]

Hi Chris, I just phoned my dad and told him you had commented yes he remembers you well, he says hello and remembers that day fishing with you up above Clarendon, he said you walked through a field to the river and remembers catching the trout also getting asked to leave by a farmer with a gun because you had walked through his property ha ha. Dad said how you going over in tassy he mentioned you love the outdoors and he thinks you might be working with animals, yes dads not a bad fisherman he taught me well, he loves lawn bowls now

[@chrisrees4878]

@@davidsheldonfishing9726 Thanks for the reply, great to here about your dad. I have been in Tassie for 33 years and I am working for myself doing cabinets and building maintence.Trout fishing here is very good all trout in the Southern Hemisphere originated from the Salmond Ponds near New Norfolk. Sea fishing is limited to less species than you have. Intestingly King George whitting and snapper are being caught in recent years possibly increased water temperature

[@Cattledogfever]

Geez Chris, its a small world, I used to fish both the base of the wier and upstream at clarendon in the early to mid 80s. Great trout population back then. I too moved down to Tassie with my wife in 2003 after leaving the army. Although Im in trout heaven down here, I do very much miss my early days fishing the onka and clarendon rivers in Adelaide..many, many fond memories. Thanks for posting Sheldon another great vid. Your a legend.. Cheers

[@mrobertson-cook2602]

Hi David, good to see you back, sorry to hear about Mitzy but I'm she would have a wonderful life with you. I know your spot but have never thrown a line there, just sat by the pool and enjoyed it. A mate of mine used to fish the river Derwent at Duffield north of Derby in the closed season using bait and regularly caught trout...........never caught by the bailiffs!!!. Keep well bud. Mike

[@davidsheldonfishing9726]

Good to hear from you mate, Ah Mitzy yes she had a wonderfull life she sat on the table lots of times when filleting fish, I have a video with her filleting a flathead I will upload it eventually, it is a lovely place did you see both pools top and bottom. Good on your mate us fishermen can be rat bags. You too keep well......David

[@bobfife9071]

Ahh bless old Mitzy you looked after her well to get her to 21. Years ago you would get aw3ay with using gents and lures, not now though chap, its big business now. Sounds like your pop was a bit off a lad in his time. If your 4lb brownie was a wild one thats one hell of a fish. I can’t get back over to SA at the mo with travel restrictions (bugger). Mind you David I don’t miss the monies. Keep well chap good to see your vids, do another on the gar fish please really enjoyed the last one. Talk soo. Bob

[@davidsheldonfishing9726]

Thanks bob, thinks do sound like they have changed. yes dad was a lad now he's a older lad. my 4lber was wild I was fishing with my 12ft float rod I plumbed the depth of the deep stretch of river and it was as deep as my rod 12ft, when my float slipped away I struck and the fish in maybe just over a second launched itself straight out of the water twice it was a real sight to see. I do like a feed of trout so I took it home and it was delicious. yes garfish sounds good, keep well Bob.....David

[@bobfife9071]

Lovely brownie David for a wild one. We fish farmed trout in the uk unless you have a title ie sir or loads of money. My best rainbow is 8lb 2oz and my best brown which was my fist ever trout was 9lb dead amazing fish but it didn’t fight like a wild trout. Lovely video old lad keep them coming. bob

[@davidsheldonfishing9726]

G'day mate, yes lovely fish. where we use to live in England there were two reservoirs in the bottom one they allowed people to use bait but in the top one only lures and fly my dad the rat bag nearly got caught putting maggots on his fly, gee 9lb brown trout thats a nice fish my biggest is just under 4lb yes I will keep plodding along with the videos, our cat Mitzy passed away last week nearly 21 she had a good life.

G'Day David, Greetings from Victoria. I enjoyed watching your laid back trout fishing. Very interesting looking spot. Is it a natural feature or a man made quarry? Dont say where, part of the fun of fishing is finding your own special spots. I usually fly fish but sometimes I like to do laid back fishing with bait--my wife jokingly calls it "Lazy Boy' fishing! It's all fishing. Cheers, Steve.

[@davidsheldonfishing9726]

G'day Steve, nice to hear you enjoyed my video, its a all natural place quit stunning I have only shown a bit of whats there so I didn't make it to easy to find but it has become very popular with the tourists over the last few years thats understandable. I do love float fishing I have never fly fished just got mainly caught up with salt water, I do have a fly rod now but still to use it its a number 7 was going to use it for Aussie salmon but I guess I could still have a go in the fresh with it, yes its all fishing. Fun with a capital F, nice to hear from you Steve I hope you are going ok over there mate.

[@trevorbennett2178]

A good blast from the past Dave. I know that area from the old days, we use to hoof around there when i was in scouts back in the 60's. Always rained from memory. Other than trout, what other fish would there be in those waterways ? Enjoyed watching this video mate. Cheers.

[@davidsheldonfishing9726]

G'day Trevor, nice to hear I have pulled on a few strings from the past, nice place isn't it, funny you saying it was usually raining when you was there it's pretty fresh in there too. There were probably fish there before the trout maybe galaxias also maybe flathead gudgion I have caught both of them species local where there aren't no trout, so just maybe they were there before the trout arrived. Thank you for watching Trevor and I'm glad you enjoyed watching the video mate...Cheers David

Hello David, I see you cast with your right hand and then swap hands to reel in. Have you ever tried putting the crank on the left side of the reel, it makes retrieving so much easier. Nice spot and good fish, I have often thought of trying for trout in the Adelaide hills, but never got around to it, maybe one day.

[@davidsheldonfishing9726]

Hi Keith, yes know what you mean, I have tried changing the handle over and it just doesn't feel right to me, I have thought myself how awkward but when fishing It feels normal.Its a awesome place a hidden oasis over hear on the Fleurieu Peninsula very popular with the tourists, yes one day with time go chase a trout.

[@Antipodean33]

I also cast with my right and wind in with my right. The weird thing is I write right handed, but throw darts with my left. I bowl a cricket ball with my right, but pick it up and throw it with my left. mustn't be wired right in the head

Thanks Phil, yes ill bet I would too, they are beautiful fish aren't they I haven't done heaps of trout fishing just caught a few small fish from around the place biggest just under 4lb, a fond memory of mine is from England, I was walking alongside the reservoir when a car pulled over and the guy said "hey would you like to see my brown trout" ok I said so he lifted the boot of the car and he had his trout laid on top of a sack on display he was so happy to show of his catch it was a nice fish maybe 6 to 8lb not as big as they get but it looked fantastic.
