There's still plenty of tagged fish out there and one of them is worth $500, plus there are some other great prizes swimming in the lake, so good luck!
Thanks again to Henderson's Ltd for their generous sponsorship!
Heading back upstream now,got one earlier on the toby.

Lost a bloody beaut rainbow here,the line snapped after a few aerial displays and off it went with the jewellery in its gob.

Caught this nice 13.5lb rainbow at the canals a couple of days back. In great condition too.
Attachment 188291
@ando2506 are there browns in the canals? I've only seen pictures of the monster rainbows.
@wsm junkie, sure are mate. One absolute stocker of a brown , 25lb, was caught near the salmon farm just off the main drag a couple of days ago. Well worth a visit if you have the time.

fairly typical Lake Dunstan Rainbow, plenty of fish in the lake , this one was caught softbaiting and released back in.
Caught a couple of rainbows while jigging this morning, a hen and a Jack that had been feeding on Koura. The fat in the belly was as orange as.

Lot of those super big fish are caught at night,they see so much gear thrown at them in the day time.They worked it out they see less at night and are not so spooked.They still got good eye sight at night and have a deadly sence of smell.Hence uh uh grub,shrimp and salmon row certainly get their noses switching.
Good god man dont dip your feet in there that old trout will have it!:O_O::wtfsmilie::XD: She has a foot fetish:oQuote:

I used to fish for steelhead 1000 years ago…does anybody dead-drift jigs? Or is that what you all mean when you say “jigging”?
jigging is mainly done in lakes.Quote:
