The Daiwa Kiyose 33SF in Australia

First trip out with the Daiwa Kiyose 33SF on a cool windy day. Line Tenkarabum hand tied fluoro heavy 10',6x tippet, brown bead head nymph and an indicator. A bit of a challenge to use the light gear in wind, but ohhh so worth it! One nice rainbow trout later, time to go home.

The Kiyose will get more exercise now our season has kicked off.

Thanks Chris

As age slows my pace, I will become more like the heron.

We've all had situations where seriously chewed up flies kept catching fish after fish after fish. It is no sin to tie flies that come off the vise looking seriously chewed up.
