A day in the Fitzroy

[Douglas]

Well, the annual Barra Bounty kicks off tomorrow with about 70 x 2 person teams.

Right on cue it pelted down in the upper Fitzroy and the barrage gates opened on Monday when the floodwaters reached Rocky.

The river is absolutely filthy brown and running.

2 days ago, the competition plans by 70 teams were torn up and there's been a scramble to come up with new tactics (probably down river).

Went down to help set up headquarters near the southside ramp park this morning. Boats and trailers everywhere on revised pre-fish exercises. Also picked up a donated $250 worth of prizes from BCF for raffles tonight.
