O Trout, Where Art Thou

[TranquilityBass]

Fished Harvey with a friend Saturday morning, afternoon and Sunday morning. Over 20 hours fishing (between the two of us) for a grand result of just one rainbow trout at a touch under a kilo... :(

Disappointing to say the least. Didn't see anyone there catch one as well.

Anyone else have better luck this weekend?

i went out wend last week got 3 trout around the kilo mark and a kilo reddy saw some old bloke catch a quite a few aswell .

I came close to catching my first Trout for the 08/09 season.

I was winding my lure in and once my lure got to the edge of my feet a smallish Trout decided to have a crack. Oh well, always next time!

i pulled this monster from waroona today. was a heap of fishing done for no result...........does it help if i said i had a really big hand like those novelty football hands..........

We had a awsome weekend away in the mountains, didnt get any monsters but caught over 30 fish for the weekend between us, heaps of little rainbows about and manged 2 browns over 40cm.

[Wyld Fisher]

You done better than me scott74!

Nice Trout lewa!

What lure/s did you manage to catch them on?

Also, do you happen to have any more Trouty photos?

[TranquilityBass]

Yeah, nice brownies lewa... love the colour on these fish.

Victorian highlands is a bit too far to travel though.

I got most of my fish on the little strike pro in the trout pattern but also got a few on plastics, eye ball tails, sliders and wrigglers. my old man and brother got most of there fish on celta's.
I didnt get heaps of photo's on the weekend cause i was to busy fishing but i do have a few photo's laying around.
found a few reddies in some deep water at the first place we stopped at.

Yeah it is a bit far, we done about 1000km's for the weekend.
We stalked out a few spots on google earth and then ended up back were we normaly go every year, found some god bassen spots but needed the kayaks to fish it.
All in good fun.

i fished Harvey dam on monday 13 rainbows, tuesday 3 rainbows, friday 2 rainbows saturday 6 rainbows and sunday 3 more rainbows:D there are plenty of fish there. i released all of them. you just need to know where and when;)

nick hocking (DohDohDoh) fished next to me saturday and landed two on fly just on dusk, i fished with spinner and hardbodies all week and did well, so its just a matter of being patient no matter what gear you use.

I thought we were very patient (and persistent) after putting in over 10 hours each. :cool:
