I have joined in and made comment too about growing up in western Vic and fishing in our old river, the Woady Yalloak. It was a wonderful old river, especially to a local kid who 'knew' its waters and its ways. My first and many others, including my biggest Australian trout came from her waters.
There were pools (we called them holes in those days) that stretched for as...

Over the years there's been many changes in TBX. It virtually collapsed some time ago for various reasons and was then reinvigorated.
