On Friday we had good rain, and strong NW winds on the lake- with good fishing. Sat- roaring SW winds and good fishing. Sunday- SW winds, glass out, heat, then a bloody cold twilight and now its been mentioned that low temps will exist again tomorrow.
They keep us thinking, but with hard yards put in they can be tempted.Nice work Paul, happy anglers I'd guess! Inspiring clients to stay focued, and to keep positive can be an equal task. Good guides know when the fish are likely to bite; and at times, it can equate to multiple hours of casting before the prizes come knocking on the door. Clients need to be fresh in the mind, armed, and ready. Pre-conceived ideas on fisheries need to be left at the ramp, and an open mind and a willingness to do the fishing (the 'hard yards') needs to come to the fore.Fish don't catch themselves, and guides don't do the fishing- the client is in position to fill a solid gap. A guide's work is actually a very challenging and difficult job-many think it's a walk in the park.Photos of fly caught barra like you just shared highlight the end result of 'team work'.Guides can catch more fish, but it's about sharing skills and knowledge with clients so they can experience some of the same.............................if they are willing to do 'what it takes'!A good positive vibe on a boat is essential. Footy teams don't win with negative players.A lake with the barra, and a guide with the knowledge just requires anglers with the right mental attitude and level of capability. One motivated client I was once fortunate to take fishing had no life hurdles. He was totally blind and he fished like a determined soldier. He only saw success. Reward came in the shape of a 106 and 121cm fish. Positivity breeds positivity. Belief breeds confidence.Thanks for sharing pics of some of your recent guiding success.Top Stuff- go the fly!!Johnny
