Jamiel1000 Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Hi raiders Is anyone catching any trout anywhere in Sydney area at all. Is LL, LW, TCD the only spots to go to while the rivers are closed. I know there is the 6 hour walk in to the Kowumg? but is there anything else I can try.

troutboy Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Yes Dear, I have been doing quite well at Wentworth Falls Lake pulling in 4 browns to a kilo in the last few days, the fish are few and far between at the moment with my fish taken on hardbody lures. The best place to fish is opposite the carpark, just stroll over the dam wall and there is a walking track that leads to the far side of the lake. good luck cheers troutboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Not me, apart from the one big Lyell Brown my sessions have been coming up doughnuts! Worst time of year anyway, Trout have other things on there mind! Give it another month and it will be very good. There are a few other small lakes around that you can look at. Fitzroy Falls is only 2 hours away and it hold Rainbows (as well as Bass!). There a are also a few around the Goulburn region (not Pejar but) that may be worth checking out.

Be some Browns in it that survived I would say but. Do you mean Crooktown? Cheers Windy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Windy Close Matt but it jogged my memory Crookwell I suppose the creeks running through the private properties we used to fish dried up as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Close Matt but it jogged my memory Crookwell I suppose the creeks running through the private properties we used to fish dried up as well Nearly got it Andrew! Remembered the Crook bit!!! Yeah, the Goulburn region copped the drought very badly so I suspect everything but the biggest waterways dried up.

Matt Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Just spent a very wet day at Lyell, in fact I think I spent more time sitting in the car listening the rain come down than actually fishing! Hit Farmers Creek arm first up and lost a solid Rainbow at my feet (damned net wouldnt clip off my belt and I ended up with some slack in the line, grrrr). There was a few fish rising out here early but it went quiet. Tried the main camping ground but didn't see anything moving but I suspect had the weather been a bit better there might have been a few fish around. In the end the rain got the better of me and my planned after dark excursion with the Fly Rod didn't eventuate. Interestingly Mr Blue Green Algae has made a reappearance, anybody have any idea what triggers it? Doesn't seem to effect the Trout overly. Chalk up one more Troutless session!

Matt Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 Hey Matt, you seem to get up the mountains a fair bit to, are you a local? when you dropped the rainbow what where you using. Living in Sydney but originally from the Snowies so I love my Trout'en. Lyell, TCD and Wallace are a tad closer the Eucumbene and Jindy! The Rainbow took one of my 'go to' Trout lures, a Rapala Vibrax Minnow Spin. Cheers Windy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewhunter Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 You could always try the Wollondilly River. It's open year round & always fishes well after a bit of rain. Cheers, Grant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 You could always try the Wollondilly River. Wollondilly is a Notified Trout Water and closed at the moment I believe???? Cheers Windy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Ahhhh, so the upper sections are closed. I haven't fished it before so never really looked into it too much. Cheers Windy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
