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.

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...
