rollcast 1 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 I get over there on a regular basis. Love the thredbo in Summer for the dry fly action and Uecumbene river during opening week is mind blowing.A couple of years ago myself and three fly fishing buddies got 257 rainbows during opening week.Most were black slabby spent fish but we got some fresh run fish amongst them.We did cheat a bit using indicators but never stooped as low as glow bugs (yet)Cracker fish mate have only caught 2 that big in over 30 years and had to go to NZ for them.I am green with envy.CongratsRollcast Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fishigan 0 Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Thats a beast of a fish mate. Totally different colour to the Browns in SA. Almost looks like a Rainbow.I got this Brown last year. Check out the difference in colour. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
1fish 0 Posted January 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 Nice fish Fishigan. These fish go a dark colour in spawning season. The fish also vary in colour from lake to lake dependant on water clarity and quality. I've even noticed a diffeance from river to river creek to creek. I have attahced two other browns I caught on the same day one from the lake and one from the river. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
