A trip to the KP

Weather had been fine, the river was holding a moderate flow and Summer was coming. Before the Parrot gets too low and heats up, we thought a trip over for a look was warranted. Glenn and I drove over in cloud and cool conditions and as we arrived at Kinglake the rain started and the weather was cool. We drove into Pheasant Creek and had a coffee while the weather cleared. We fished the Golden Mile and Glenn took a couple early, both on a dry. River looked beautiful and we were hopeful of more trout. The sun was trying to shine and we changed flies often trying to unlock todays secret fly. I managed a small trout with a nymph and also lost another small fish on a dry. A great day on the Parrot but I fear it might be the last for a while until we have a bit of cooler weather in March /April.
