Rain is gone today, BUT.................

Well, after two weeks of constant rain, storms and wind - basically crazy, not nice to fly fishing weather...............
Today it was the bluest of skies

But......still too much wind and swell.
Most of it running straight down the local harbour making travelling about in my low profile tinnie - not the nicest of motions or conditions
It's ugly, ugly water


So drastically hanging out for the wind to stop - so I can go SWOFFING!

The BOM site shows the massive of cloud associated with the recent tropical low (i.e. a cyclone if it wasover water!) that gave us all the rain and wind and storms for two weeks......moving south east

It took all the clouds with it but the wind is still being drawn to it even though hundred of kilometers away (raining heaps along the way as it blocked 300km of the main highway to Darwin!)

So maybe in a few days (Sunday or Monday?).......
         I will get the right sort of weather for stripping a fly through the water

And then experience that fantastic feeling of that thrilling anticipation of the fish as it is about to hit the fly!
Bring it ON!!!!!
