Gday gentlemen and ladies
Well this weekend is the opening of trout season here in Australia spent the day looking at rivers, alot of very high and coloured water.
But I have managed to find a clear stream to chuck some flies into.
I will be putting the barrio Slx through its paces on our Aussie trout water.
Can't wait to be fishin again.

Have a good one.  Right that's it time to win the lottery, get a hoose doon under and fish fur proper troots awe year.
Or at least 'till i got bored and decided golf the better option?  Aye right, might have a fat erse but no where near ready fur the tartan trews and dodgy jumpers.  :wink :z4 :z4 :z4 :z4 :z4 :z4 :z4  I'll just stick tae the Apris wader aroma and vented shirts.  :z7 :z7

Can you not get some video instead mate?  The horse noise won't come through so well on stills  :z4

Be good to see how you go with the SLX on the water, just had a cracking review in FF&FT.


Cheers
