Walk from Parringtons down to the Wannon. | |
|
No one went there because all the gates were locked. | |
|
Ballie would get 'Red Fin' up to 3 pounds from through the summer time. | |
|
2 o'clock was best in the afternoon when they came on the bite. | |
|
After he got a 'feed' he came home because they were no refrigerators or freezers at that time. | |
|
In winter he fished for eels. | |
|
Ballie cooked the 'Red Fin' by using flour, egg and bread crumbs cooking them in hot fat. | |
|
He got 'Rainbow Trout' from the Konongwotong Reservoir using a spinner and mudeyes. One night he got eight. | |
|
Ballie loves fishing at the Glenelg. The biggest Mulloway he got was a 20 pounder down at the mouth. He also gets heaps of bream there. 7 hp Evinrude motor and 12 foot boat. Tony Hutchins still goes with him. | |
