Awonga spills at dam wall taking plenty of fish into the Boyne River

 

Every cloud has a silver lining so I am told.

The silver lining for the horrendous weather and damage associated with cyclone Debbie is that Awonga dam has started to spill taking heaps of fish into the Boyne River. Over the next short while as the river flow settles down the barra fishing should be very exciting.

With that in mind I have packed the van got my gear together and have even tied a few of my articulated swimmer flies which are my go to flies for barra in discoloured water.

So now its a waiting game and I'll be on the road as soon as the water has abated from the flooded roads that I have to travel to get to Awonga ... I'll keep you posted.
