Episode 29: Christopher Bassano and the Tasmanian Fishing Calendar.

Season 1 · Episode 29

Friday, August 5, 2022 • Duration 01:20:45

With the Tasmanian season set to kick off we were keen to chat to an expert, someone intimately connected to the Southern Hemisphere’s oldest trout fishery to get an in depth run down of the Tassie fishing calendar in anticipation of what lies ahead. Christopher Bassano has over 20 years guiding experience and has fished just about every piece of water that Tassie has to offer. He is renowned as one of the island’s most intuitive and experienced guides. He also has a long and successful career in competition angling, having represented Australia at Commonwealth and World championship level. If that wasn’t enough, Christopher now works for Tasmania’s Inland Fisheries Service on conservation and stocking programs, and he also outlines some of the great initiatives and programs they’ve been working on in the lead up to the season. For anyone gearing up for what Tassie has in store, tune in- this one’s a cracker!

Episode 23: Gorge Country Redemption

Season 1 · Episode 23

Thursday, December 30, 2021 • Duration 39:27

In Episode 10 of On The Fly we found ourselves in the gorge country of the Eucumbene River in the NSW snowy mountains. In that episode we had some success with Dave (from the darkside) catching his first fish on the fly but the story also drifted into bagging out on Steve for his lack of match fitness. We said we would head back again so Ben, Dave, Garren and Steve headed back to that same infamous stretch of river just before Christmas. This time with two goals: To continue to win Dave over from the darkside and for Steve, redemption. We recorded this pod at the end of huge day fishing. If it sounds like someone is pouring glasses of vino at different points in the pod it must just be a glitch with our mic. Hope you enjoy a few sore, yet satisfied fishos having a yarn in the Australian bush.
