[Guest DV8]

Hi raiders

Heading down to Lake Jindabyne tomorrow. Has anyone any knowledge on SP's for trout. I am sure they work well but which patterns have you had the most success on??

Cheers

Mate, Steve Starling wrote an article in this month's Modern Fishing about trout and SPs - he says that 5-8cm tails on 2-6gm heads (Squidgy Fish and Wrigglers in Rainbow Trout or Brown Trout colour). He "burns" them quickly or "slow-rolls" them or even hops them down deep banks - he's caught trout on each technique. I think it might be a good idea to pick up a copy of Modern Fishing on your way down - Steve also mentions that the people at the Alpine Angler know their stuff by observing pros out on the lakes - trout on SPs is becoming popular.

Thanks flattieman. Steve starlo wouild know. i had the pleasure of meeting him once and he is a real nice bloke too. The alpine Angler is a great spot to stop. i always do every year and have a cuppa and talk trout though Scott Mitchell sold it a couple of weeks ago so I don't know what the new owners are like. Thanks for the tip.

No problems, mate - agree about Starlo (top bloke) - we've had a few good yarns at Tackle Shows etc... He says that the new owners are good folk.

Hi guys, I briefly hooked a very large brown trout a couple of weeks ago using a 2g squidgie finnesse jighead mated to a 50mm squidgie wriggler in silver fox colours, I find this combo to be very castable , has a slow seductive sink with just a little tail wiggle. A good match for the resident gudgeons and gallaxids. cheers troutboy

The new owner is a mate of mine by the name of John Quinn. Top bloke who knows his stuff & will continue the great service the Alpine Angler is known for.

Say g'day for me when you see him.

Cheers,

Grant.
