Yes Dutch they do fly fish but mainly in the eastern states. There are some rivers over here in the west with trout in them and a few people would fly fish for them. Years ago my mates and I used to go camping on this river and one of my mates was a local to the area. He had a canoe like those indian canoes you see in the movies. Anyhow we were camping one time and he said if you paddle down the river very quietly and where the creeks trickle into the river sometimes you will see a trout there on the surface. I said we could shot em with a shotgun with small shot. So thats what we did and with success. Very difficult to stand up in the canoe and take the shot. The other guy has to jump in and catch the stunned trout. I do have a pic of one but not in digital. That is fair dinkum story.
