'Tornado' rips through southern Perth....

Weather Stuff:

A strong high has kept the conditions rather pleasant over the last 3 to 4 days and is set to continue into the weekend. Most of the systems near Tassie have been stalled by a blocking high to the west of New Zealand and at this stage, things don’t look like moving until Sunday. The weather nation-wide has been rather settled for most of May with the exception of a Tornado in Perth, Western Australia, yesterday morning.

Fishing Stuff:

Andrew K and I fished Lake Rowallan on the 12th and 13th of May. The lake was around 14 metres down, which is normal for this time of year. Although the lake did rise about 1m over night. We both caught 2 rainbows each and all the fish were about the same size, around 330mm. All were caught on worms using a float. The rainbow season will end this Sunday, 28th May, and sees the end to all official trout fishing until August.

End:

Fronts embedded in the stream....

Weather Stuff:

The end of last week seen light winds and fine days slowly deteriorating to rain by Sunday. A vigorous cold front is crossing today producing severe winds, heavy showers, snow and thunder. The winter type pattern just keeps on coming. Currently it is 9C in Devonport and 5.9C in Hobart, (14:00). Conditions may ease only slightly tomorrow and Friday before another front crosses over the weekend.

Fishing Stuff:

The season for Brown Trout waters has now closed and Rainbow waters will close on May 28th. I’m working on squeezing in one more trip to Rowallan before the season completely ends.

End:
