Trout fishing in Melbourne By Darwin's Barramundi angler Mr. Carlo Chonga Esmaquel

My very good friend, Chonga was absent from Darwin for 7 months.

I asked him to send me e-mail about his fishing in Melbourne.
I received an e-mail from him as follows,


When I was in melbourne for about 7 months early 2010, july to feb 2012.
During my stay I went trout fishing, I caught brown trout and couple of rainbow trout at daylesford, vic (known as poof-tha town)
Freezing at night time, had to have couple of straight scotch to keep me warm hahahah

By the way,

There are 300 and more artificial Trout fishing ponds in Japan.
I think that this Trout fishing gears should be the best matching with SQUIDGY FISH on the shallow water.
