Pretty keen on fishing the Euc. Especially during the spawn run. Taking the boat so il definitely be doing some dam missions.

Moving to Wagga. Snowies 2 hr drive. So not too bad. Really keen to do some exploring

Thanks Adrian. Moving to nsw in 2 weeks. Hopefully I can start catching the next size up from these S.A Browns

Caught this brown on fly Monday. Not the longest trout but one of the thickest I've caught. Put up a great fight too. 4lb leader, stonefly nymph.

Good yabby bait

Do they taste like rubbish that big? Anything over 50 / 55cm here is strong to eat. Even when bled. Not a fan personally.

Nice work des. Never caught one on lure myself.

Nice session there.. well done.

Honestly never caught. I wouldn't mind trying for them, not a fan of eating fresh water fish but everyone rekons there great on the plate. Keen to give it a go.

I've never caught one

Mepps when I come to tassie can you take me out for a fish

I was chasing trout recently, I tied a few ruff wooly buggers the night before. Free style.. and pretty happy with them too.. I also Tied on a brand new 4lb leader. About 12 cast into my session, I felt a real heavy weight load up on my 5 weight Fly Rod. "Wow that's a big trout". It sat on the bottom and held my there about 5 minutes. It was an impossible trying to turn its head. It finally turned, it came too the surface. F+++ me !. It's not a trout.. then there was several heavy runs. A 10 minute battle in the end. I finally got it to surface. I grabbed my trout net off my back. Took o

Nice fish mate

I was under the impression our fish don't have much success reproducing here. Just what I've been told.. but if they did. Wouldn't our waters have a much larger population? Some smaller clear water streams I've fished over the years seem to have the same fish every year. And no sign of any new residents/ fingerlings. Surely if they where breeding I Would have come across new fish. I'm moving to Wagga Wagga at the end of year for 3 years to support my partner whilst she finishes her veterinary degree. Getting pumped for some Snowy Mountain trout action and some murrumbidge surface encount

In this particular system I've caught alot of rainbows this season, which I've never caught here before. Even took one home and ate it. Brined it. Put some fine dining chef skills on it. Still tasted like shit Also I've noticed alot of baby's getting around. In schools. Between 20-50 fish in certain pools. Which is great to see. I've been told our trout eggs don't hatch here in s.a because they don't have the prop substrate (stones) to attach there eggs too.. so I assume there stocked fish. Which is great to see. Or somehow the fish have got lucky.. Thanks for all your comments. C

Caught this decent Brown in the hills recently. In the Mid 50's. Went all arabattic on me jumping several times. Released well. Caught on own ruff tied fly. 20230314_113820_1.mp4

Maybe north of Moonta Bay there might be some seaweed mounds you can dig up and find some. We don't get the long worms that you bait in the shallows there. Just the small type under seaweed mounds. Take a shovel.

Back in the day you had two options. Spider wire. Or fire line

Unreal. Seen one when I was setting pots for marron on kangaroo Island on the west coast. Thanks for sharing Adrian. Very special animal.

Nice. If only I knew this hack in my teens. Went through so many..

Unreal.

Nice catch Adrian

Thanks mepps

Unreal hey. The running water. Does wonders for the mental game.
