Troutathon take 2

Post by 220 »

Had a bit of a discussion with some blokes at Missathon, going with January date again and really the only viable weekends are 9/10 or 16/17 or we will be clashing with long weekends.
9/10 looks like the favourite at this stage. Hopefully the weather is a bit more co-operative than last year :lol:
Pretty much the same deal as last year only hopefully we catch a few trout.
Hut now has a front wall, enough room for a dozen or so swags BBQ for cooking, will do another lamb on the spit Sat night so something to sleep in, food for a few meals, some drinks and you should be set for the weekend.

Three weeks into trout season and I finally got an hours fishing in yesterday afternoon in between shooting a few bunnies.
Still a few fish about, managed to land 6 in an hour, had double that many hits that failed to hook up and kept 3 to eat.
Might be half a chance of a few blokes catching a feed this time if the weather and fish co-operate.

Or some bloody hill billy doesn't catch all the buggers before we get there. :twisted: :lol: You are sposed to be feeding them up mate, not feeding yourself.

But they do look yummy, good to see a few around. Looking forward to giving them another go. :D

Its alright mate I released as many as I kept and failed to land another dozen or so, only fished a few hundred metres of creek so still about 3km I haven't had a look at yet.

Yeah, didn't land a rainbow yesterday, going to have another crack with the kids this arvo, might try a few different lures today, stuck with the one yesterday after I worked out what they wanted to hit. Did have one little rainbow jump and try and hit the lure as I lifted it from the water after I finished a retrieve. Watched him follow it but he wasn't interested until it left the water.
