Winter Fishing Reconnaissance

Pictures from a scouting trip to some fishing spots in the Swan Hill and Kerang region of Victoria. On the way I stopped and looked at the interesting vista in the frosty dawn at Tragowel Swamp near Kerang, then dropped a line into the Murray River and Little Murray River on Pental Island near Swan Hill. On our way back we visited Kow Swamp near Gunbower and even had a quick fish in the famous Box Creek that runs out of Kow Swamp to the Murray. Not even a nibble :-( The last picture is my attentive passenger and companion for the trip.
