Absolutely brilliant idea!! My boat lives up at Port Stephens, so this is a massive help!

Ah ok, I was thinking more the creeks in the area. on the drive in the barmedman creek looked swollen and very fishable, and there's yiddah creek south of town that I haven't had a look at yet. My only problem is that I don't know if you're actually allowed to fish these waterways, and if so which species might be in there. Cheers for the reply though Gatts!

G'day Raiders, I'm out in West Wyalong for the next two weeks on a placement for my uni degree, and I'm just wondering if anyone has had any experience in fishing the creeks, rivers, or lakes out here? Also whether or not you're even allowed to fish the creeks/rivers out here anymore? Cheers, Dan

Hooked up, yeah i tried every type of lure, and every retrieval on Saturday but the big spawners weren't having a bar of it, the only times they really fired up was running 3-4 inch hard bodies in trout patterns with a quick retrieve then pause, retrieve and pause etc when the lure was stationary i had a few 6 pound+ bucks follow. I also had one big rainbow tailing a pink tazzie to about a metre from the shore, but then head back to deep water at the last second, he legitimately looked like a 10lb plus model (that's right foolforjesus!!). so hopefully i have some more luck tomorrow and i can get into some of the big units!!!

Awesome mate. Yeah I'll let you know how I go, I'm hopeful for a few nice rainbows!!!

foolforjesus, Cheers for that!! But sorry, minnows or wrigglers? I'm heading up again tomorrow see what happens. Hopefully that wind buggers off though!!!

Great report, and great fish!! AND happy birthday for yesterday!! I was up at TCD yesterday as well, didn't land a fish all day but sighted and had a few follows from several healthy rainbows ranging between 5-8 pounds. Lots of false spawning action going on as well with all the water in the dam now. Although I had no luck yesterday, I'm definitely heading up again in the week to try my luck again!! Hope you don't mind me asking, but what lures did you land your fish on? Cheers!

Hey mate, I've been having a heap of luck at dusk on Putty Beach
