Catch Any Trout Today?

Yesty was grand hot and no wind.The whole family ready too hit the water but Possom trapper had borrowed the weed eater from his grandad so I ferried the boys up too the shed to return the tool.

PTs pack and rod on Mrs D's quad but we headed to the river after the drop off.


PT waited on my quad for his mumma and I get a text on my cell "quack,quack" yep thats my text tone.
Mrs D at home waiting for PT bloody communication:oh noes: any way said we at river waiting.
Any way she heads down towards river too meet up with us AND forgot her rod:omg::D:D
Turns back home and runs out of petrol:D:D

That pissed her off more:D

Sean Dundee and I scarperd ready for buisness but I left him in my tracks:)
Attachment 4728
Thats Sean near my rod tip and he crossed the river too:wtfsmilie:
We saw a few but no luck.

After lunch PT joined me cause I told em I spotted a Henaki (Eel net) in the river

And he yanked it out and is going to untangle and repair it.

We also spotted a big brown right where the middle branch is but the photo does no justice as we were quite high up on the bank and I have no polaroid lense.
Attachment 4731

Neckshot joined me last evening and the rise and nearing full moon created quite a stirr on the water with trout rising everywhere but we both failed :XD:At least we weren't fishing blank water they were there but no takers.:ORLY:
Neckshot and I lost a lure each,my one caught the 3lber the day before:XD:Might go swimming soon:yaeh am not durnk::ORLY:

Tonight I saw some big browns and one big rainbow:ORLY:Yeah right no one believes you unless you catch em.;)

I had a couple off the big ones swim past my lure but no connection.

Landed a small rainbow released too get bigger:thumbsup:

Think it might be a rainbow dude ,nice fish though Mr D...... good skills .

Dundee what I like most is that you are a spin fisherman. I grew up fishing with spinners.... Oh and the odd bit of Pepsident toothpaste as an attractant.

Win for Rapala

Another win for the Rapala.I would of let it go but its the first for the "Take a kid Huntn & Fishn comp" so it got banged:wtfsmilie:

Will add some pics of the day in the hunting section........will be photo heavy:ka boom:

A pleasant evening on the river ,trout seemed to have suicidal tendencies.Couple of good size fish seen ,the 2nd of spat my hook .My fault I gave him some slack line & got punished . Came home with a 1st limit of fish for the season & threw some undersize fish back .
Fresh trout for lunch tomorrow ,can't grumble too much .

Yep sorry Mr D ,will remember next time .Seem to have a heap of accumulated shit in my little back pack now,bit more won't matter I expect. Pic of a pile of trout steaks not really the same aye? Bit like a photo of a trout salad huh?:D

Well done Chris. Good to see that Dundee doesn't have a monopoly on this activity. Where we're you fishing?

Went down to Black Dam Rushy,some one needs to give Mr D a wee nudge to get him motivated .

Its about time someone got out there as well. Well done Chris;)

Thought ya might be getting a bit lonely in here by ya-self. The fishing calender "Bite Time" on the new GPS
might be OK after all.Seemed to be pretty well bang on yesterday.

Just been given a new access too the river from another farmer.Use too go there lots as a kid but what a bloody mission tonight overgrown grass ,willows and bloody sink holes. Took me 30 mins to get to the water after bush bashing.
Nice spot and some good looking trout but no hook ups tonight.
Attachment 5225Attachment 5226Attachment 5227

Some deep pools and paupua on the edge so it will only be good when its dry otherwise it will be slippery like a eel. Wouldn't want too walk on that stuff when its wet.

My other close location access points are temporarily closed ass cattle are in one paddock and they seem too chew quad seats wires etc.

The other handy access is shut up for silage so it was great getting this access tonight.After a bit of a reccy I think I can find the river easier and get home quicker but it took 25minutes too leave the water and be home.

Got it sussed now geeez its changed in 20 years

You have probably changed in that 20 years as well Dundee.

Just 1 tonite, a maiden hen of around 2.5k. lost 4 so will have to sharpen the hooks. The harling in the shallows is just starting to come on. The Fly fishers are starting to get results for their efforts, so I will be fishing a bit harder now before the crowds arrive.

Good skills Gapped axe that sounds like a beauty.

Yeah hate to slip on that paupua,but it looks good down their.can always shoot out to oringi and manga rd ah mr Dundee...........

Caught 3 last nite, definitly a case of Cinderella and the 2 ugly sister's who by the way where put back. to be honest even Cinderella wasn't that pretty.

Good skills gapped axe.

Me and Sean Dundee fished these waters late morning.

Attachment 5274Attachment 5275Attachment 5276Attachment 5277

I landed a rainbow on this
Attachment 5278

But the bugger took of before I snapped a picture,then next cast I lost the lure:XD: the bloody snap clip came open.

Sean Dundee took this of me after I landed it on a rapala

Attachment 5279

He was a bit close so I told em too back off but theres not much room for error on these narrow papua shelves

Attachment 5280

good work Mr Dundee , those browns are lovely smoked. Might get down the river myself tomorrow.

Good skills Mr Dundee. Looks like a very pretty bit of water. Bet the flyfishing and nymhing go off at times

a rainbow tonight:D
