By Nick Reay This coming long weekend heralds the beginning of the NSW trout season. Whilst you are able to fish the large Snowy Mountain lakes all year round, it’s this weekend that sees anglers flocking back to the rivers, streams and creeks in pursuit of the elusive and timid trout. As the season opens,…
By Luke Gallea Fish large or small, prongs catch em’ all!! I am continually surprised by the range of fish I have been fortunate enough to catch on the Atomic “Plazo” Prongs of late. Living in Mackay, I am surely blessed with options for a wide range of fishing locations and endless varieties of iconic…
