A break in the weather

We had a couple of nice days this week in between the rain that has hung around so I took the opportunity to go out to Bostok reservoir and to Kyneton. I didn't do much fishing at Bostock as I did walking while I looked for signs of activity. I got a few more practice casts in with the fly rod and spent a little while casting blades but saw no action, it was good to see the water rising again though.
The next day I went to Kyneton and fished the campaspe river in the evening, mainly casting squidgy bugs but also tried a few other patterns and a couple of hardbody lures. The squidgy bug ended up landing me 5 redfin between 15cm and 30cm and I got another over 25cm on a savage hardbody.
 bostock was calm as a millpond
 the rising water had caused spiders to retreat and there was a sea of webs
 campaspe river flowing steadily over the falls
