Bela Milnthorpe

Had my first visit on the bela at milnthorpe this sunday after parking in the beef sheds and walking the river i could see there was a lot of water still in the river,passing by a nice looking piece of water i saw a fish top.

on getting into the water and pitching a fly up stream the first glide back nothing happened a few casts later on the way back the fly dissapeared and a angry bela trout was hooked after a brief  but heart stopping battle a plump 1 lb trout was nestling in my net.

After returning the fish and moving up the pool i had another trout of similar size my first visit on the bela and i had 2 fish a perfect day spent on a new water, i carried on walking the bank and pitching a fly in likely looking places but caught nothing more.

I still have one more guest ticket and 4 days to the end of the season so i hope i will get a chance to get back on the bela.
