I CAN GO FISHING BUT IM NOT ALLOWED



Letters of correspondence regarding fishing advice from Simone Pierre of Ulladulla, New South, Whales Australia . 

Pierrolo = Piero
Vicco = Victoria

" You are entering some sacred rainbow and brown trout paradise. Also nearby is the Rubicon River don't know if Pierrolo knows his Italian heritage but Julius Caesar crossed the Rubicon in early Roman history and took over Rome. Google up Fishing the Archean, as I have done. The style of fishing will be depend on how much water flow is in it.If river is up live worms suspended under a bubble float is one way, if water is flowing into a pool, maybe spinning. Regardless, you will need a short slender, medium action rod with a spinning reel.
Line should be around max 2kilo breaking strain and be monofilament. No colour, only clear or semi clear. You can also go onto a Youtube site regarding knots for trout fishing and the techniques for all of above. Usually for the bubble float , for to carry the live worms is weighted according to the current/or no current. Minimum  weight always best.For spinning, only the lure or spinner is used. Best one I have used has been imitation brown trout lure,10/12 mm max in size.
Trout will eat each other at that size. Also good if using the float apart from worms are cicadas,(probably none as season is gone.) or grasshoppers. They can caught early morning as  mist is rising near the rivers edges. All the live bait should be Live, worms wriggling, Grasshopper trying to fly. Rangers from Vicco Fishery often patrol the Rubicon as some sections of it are for fly fishing only. You will need a fishing licence and that I think you can get at Marysville, also live worms and if you are super nice to staff they will give you some hints. I am not sure re COVID19 if have travel restriction in Vicco. Maybe fishing tackle store not open in Marysville ? Be aware that if you do, travel without good reason you may be risking a fine.
Regardless, have fun and be always careful and mindful of the river. Hope this helps. "
