Winter fishing and a GREAT COMBO.

Winter Fishing

South Esk River; Open downstream from Storys Creek road bridge Avoca to Beams Hollow upstream of Lake Trevallyn, marked by the straight line between grid reference E506358 N5406426 and E506467 N5406414. It is open till Sunday 30th May. 
Yingina/Great Lake; Open all year-round excluding Canal Bay and Tods Corner. Anglers are reminded that it is an offence to take fish in any water flowing into the Great Lake, and within a radius of 50 meters where they flow into the lake. 
Mersey River: Open upstream of Lake Rowallan till Sunday the 30th May. 
Meander River; Open Downstream from Strath Bridge on the C735 to the south Esk River till Sunday the 30th May.  
Brushy Lagoon: Open all year round with plenty of great fishing opportunities. The lagoon has recently been stocked with some nice sized Atlantic Salmon, while being home to many brown and rainbow trout of all sizes. fantastic shore access as well as good boat access. 
Meander Dam:  Open to angling all year. With a healthy population of brown trout, this lake is a great winter fishing option. Whether on a boat or from the shore, the lake is very accessible.    
There are a number of other waters in the state that can be fished throughout the winter, head over to the fisheries website here for more info. 
Looking for a great 10' 6wt fly rod outfit without breaking the bank? Then look no further! The 6100-4 Loop Q series rod paired with a Fly Lab Stillwater reel is the outfit for you! The reel has four cassette spools in total - one set up with a 6wt WF floating line, backing and leader. Then choose your other lines to suit.
This is the perfect budget 10-foot combo for any fisher looking to get into loch-style fishing or any other forms of fly fishing where a 10ft rod is advantageous, particularly from a boat. Whether you are a beginner or been fishing for many years this rod is suitable for everyone. You will not find a 10ft rod and reel combo of this quality with spare cassettes at a better price!
Not only is it a budget outfit, in comparison to the higher end rods, it casts like a dream. Personally, I find most budget 10ft 6wt rods to be a heavy thing to cast all day, especially when fishing a team of wets. However, this rod exceeded my expectations greatly! It casts really well at short or long distances, with or without a team of flies.
