Thanks for articles so far Ken - can't wait until the winter for more of the same!
Re: photo, I want to say college - the very top end (east bank) - but probably miles off!

You guys are correct that it is College, now just guess the swim. The Swamp was so named because it was a swamp, this swim was always pristine and at times it was crawling with carp.

Then I would say it was the ponderosa ken. Nope!
To be honest unless you have fished College I doubt you'd guess...In fact, even if you have fished there you may have a problem!

Here's a hint (giveaway), Dave. The original shot is facing west, the shot with the common is facing east, both taken from the same swim!

Hmmmm!
I'm wondering if you've thrown us a cheeky curveball? Were the pics taken on the island?

Give that man a coconut!
Well done, Dave.
It is indeed the point of the island that we used to cast to from the Swamp. There were times midweeks if the level was down a little you could wade to the point of the islands in chesties, but only if there was nobody about! It was like shelling peas. Single rod stalking on 40-acres. It was bliss; could watch them pick up the hookbait!Happy daze!

Hi Ken, the 2nd photo helped - if I've got my bearings right I think your head is hiding the entrance to the cut?
Never fished the island(s) but often waded out there - depth was right on the limit of my waders mind- one wrongly placed foot & you got to test the water temperature!!
I remember one day counting about 30 fish tightly shoaled up & swimming clockwise in the small gap between the islands, they didn't even mind me getting in & wading through them to get to the small island - they were even bumping into my legs & didn't seem too concerned I was there!
