Lake Dickson!

Cycled past this morning and it was cleared.

“That’s not a trolley.
It’s an ingenious fish trap so locals can catch carp. “

Its not a carp trap, it’s a lure collector. The basic principle is you chuck it in the drink, fishermen snag up on it, then a week later you haul it out and its covered with lures.

If you want carp, head down to the turd pond @ sundown and fly fish with a small brown nymph. The carp are starting to surface feed on tiny insects. There’s some metre+ mongrels in there. Better fight than those manky trout things.

Doesn’t the Dickson noodle house get some of its produce from there?

Ahhh, Isn’t this lake close to the ‘special’ traffic lights for the blind recumbent riders, that suggests that they shaould also stop… (One pedestrian and 1 bike stop light)

In any case, to remove this eyesore, 20l of petrol, and 1 match, and the govt will deal with the problem for us 🙂

…and where are all the pond dwellers looking to protect this fragile environ?

I wonder how many dead junkies there are at the bottom of all that mess?

Personally, I blame the Police for this state of affairs – but only because it seems to be that it’s fashionable to blame the Police for everything in Canberra!

as opposed to dead proof of life?

hehe – yup.

ahh. I always wanted to go prawning in lake dickson

lets hope roland grns isnt reading this or we’ll see a camera crew and bob brown down there…

Look on the bright side. At least one of those seedy cafes in Dickson hasn’t started selling it as coffee.

I wonder if the ACT Parks can see this from there fortress over the road of the ABC. I am sure that atl east a good third of them would drive past this at least twice a day.
