Any Trout Anywhere

[Jamiel1000]

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.

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

well yes dear are you ready to go on another mission soon to Wentworth Falls Lake?

thanks troutboy the guy in the bottle shop theres no good fishing in there

local secret?

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.

Pejar dried up Andrew, got water in it now but will need restocking. Be some Browns in it that survived I would say but.

Do you mean Crooktown?

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.

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!

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.

You could always try the Wollondilly River.

It's open year round & always fishes well after a bit of rain.

Cheers,

Wollondilly is a Notified Trout Water and closed at the moment I believe????

Unless things have changed recently the area around the Wollondilly River Station is open year round.

"Wollondilly is a Notified Trout Water and closed at the moment I believe????"

Wollondilly is a Notified Trout Water above Tarlo River, Cox's above Little River, Kowmung above Molong Crk

I havn't heard much in the way of reports but if your down there don't hesitate to throw a line in

Ahhhh, so the upper sections are closed. I haven't fished it before so never really looked into it too much.
