Just Rambling on.

 Nice cast mate, But get your line on the bloody water your not going to catch fish flicking your line back and Forth 20 times, Plus you spooked that fish on the 5th false cast anyway. If your flys aren't in the water then your not fishing.

Take your time when you first approach that pool, Don't rush up and fish the head of the pool ( Plus your probably just pissing your mates off ). If you can try and scramble up a Bank, Cliff, or Tree to get a high vantage point to scan the pool, You will be surprised just how much you can see into that pool all of a sudden with a bit of elevation, Scan the pool looking for that slight movement or maybe a flash of a trout or even better a fish scoffing its guts on bugs.
Work as a team Calling out to your mate where the fish are laying and where to cast to and sometimes when to strike, Browns can quite often be found sitting at the rear of and sides of pools. They always say, Fish your feet first!

Show respect for the landowner and his property. He will likely allow you a return visit, Try to Seek permission to access the river if its across farm land even ask a couple of different landowners along a certain stretch you plan on fishing that day, I often cover a fair bit of water in a day and without knowing can cross onto a couple different property's. Beer can get you some good access.

Be Patience!, Fish the pool your fishing in and not the next one up, Ive been fishing with people who will walk and cast at the same time, fishing like the next pool up is going to dry up all of a sudden and its a race.Once again take your time, Sitting back and watching a pool for 10mins that at first inspection looks empty can all of a sudden give up a few fish that you wouldn't have seen as you fish frantically through that pool.

Linking up as you cross a sketchy piece of the river is wise not Gay, Plus a Wading stick isn't just for old folks these things are bloody good and have saved me more than once when the old feet started to slip.

Too many anglers learn to do things one way only e.g. they may only fish a dry fly on streams, or only fish Woolly buggers on lakes. The successful angler will have a few different technique's up his sleeve and is quick to change Rigs and methods when the favoured tactics don't work.  

Anyone can take a picture of a dead fish. Taking the shot and releasing the fish requires a little more finesse.Taking a photo of a fish means keeping it out of the water, You are already adding stress to a stressful situation. Speed helps both in landing and in photo taking.
Support the fishes body when taking it out of the net, Don't grab it by the tail and hold it vertically the fishes internal organs will slump forward and can cause damage. Remember that the fish's internal organs are normally supported by the buoyancy of water.

As much as I like fishing by myself, Hitting the rivers with my mates is golden, The shit talking and bragging that goes on makes a good day great, Cheers Team.
