The usual format, these days, is that we sort out vehicles etc, we have a treasurer and a quartermaster (although many is the year we have gone up with 25 different cheeses, 16 different olives etc etc, and forgotten the toilet paper). Most of us go to a mate’s fabulous house on a hill behind Cooroy for the Friday evening, a couple of hours north of Brizzy. A cigar overlooking the lake, dinner, drinks, and then we all crash and head up the next day. Another couple of hours to the tiny town of Rainbow Bay and on to Inskip Point, nothing more than a spit of sand, where we catch the car ferry to the bottom of the Island.

Yes Ken you need to make it to Canada for a fishing trip. I've made at least 20. Some much cheaper than others. I have fished Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and the Nunavut above Arctic Circle. Its incredible country! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
