Field notes
Big New England impoundment on the Gwydir famous for trophy Murray cod. Drowned timber on the points and submerged creek beds are the go. Goldens and silvers through summer; cod best in the cooler months on big swimbaits and surface walkers at dusk.

Best windows combine civil twilight with the hour either side of sun transit — the universal low-light feeding window most species respond to. Moon phase influence is folkloric; full and new moons coincide with the strongest tide swings.
