[Two Weeks Annual Leave - Help me crack my trout doughnut!]

G'day guys,

As of Monday, I'm lucky enough to have scored 2 weeks annual leave, and I'm determined to crack my trout doughnut. Up to now, I've never cracked a trout outside a trout farm, and this needs to change.

I'm planning to do a couple of daytrips from Sydney, so I'm basically looking at the Blue Mountains/Lithgow areas, but am happy to travel anywhere doable in a day.

I don't care what size, I don't care if it's smaller than the lure, I am just determined to snag a trout.

I've got a 1-3kg spin setup with 2500 stella, and a 6/7wt 8'6" fly rod, so I've got the gear, just no idea.

I guess the options are, as I see them:

- Fish River at Tarana. No idea as I've never seen this river, if anyone could give any lure or style or location advice that'd be great.

- Cox's at Duddawarra. I've fished here a couple of times for naught, happy to hear advice as it's a great spot.

- River Lett at Hartley. Never fished here but apparently it's accessible through Hartley reserve? Worth a look?

- Lake Lyell. Have fished here once but had no idea, so any advice would be great. Have heard the northern end is the best?

- TCD. Probably not an ideal newbie location, but I'd be happy to give it a crack.

- Lake Wallace. No idea here at all.

I've also got roughly $100 for lures and flies, so if anyone could give any advice on location, methods, lures, flies, anything to crack this drought I'd be more than greatful!

Cheers guys!
