I want to fish the obvious, Kinnie, Rush etc. But I am concerned that with fishing pressure I will not be able to find a place to fish. Would the Willow be a serious option, or a waste of time?

If so, u will not have much pressure. I fish those areas all the time. If I do not go with a buddy I almost never see other anglers. Particularly during the week.

You’ll have no problem getting on the Rush or Kinni during the week.
