rizzo Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Went out to lake Lyell on Sunday morning with the Ouliis what a great morning it was. It was only 1 degrees when we got there at 5.20am. There was alot of fog around, the would not get out of the car she was too Launched the boat by 6am was on our mission to catch the elusive rainbow and brown trout. We were trolling for about two hours before we got our first strike. It was a 44cm rainbow caught on a brown trout pattern mcgrath lure. It was the first rainbow trout the has ever caught. About an hour after i landed a 48cm rainbow on a black gold jackall chubby lure. We were flicking around timber structure with various lures including soft plastics. Had a great day out on the lake with the . Cant wait to get back out there soon Cheers Rizzo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Roffo Yeah matey up the back on the fork on the left it looks like a nice area to get to early in the morning when the mist is rising and cast around the structures and then hit the trolling scene with down rigs and other methods the ever faithful Bennett McGrath lures are the ticket for the troll and also the first "min min" lures by DOWN UNDER LURES extremely rare to find in shops these days great tight action on these lures,i could not brain those buggers on plastics it seems weird fishing for trout on sp's might have to get some advice from Stewy and Dan they seem to have it down pat also no luck on the power bait they kept falling off hook might get some worms next time we go up there which should be soon We think we seen you on the bank there roffo did you have your family with you and a black dual cab 4x4 on the lake side?

Roffo Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 No Mate, They where fishing next to us, we had the CRV and you would of seen the boss wrapped in her whole wardrob sitting on a chair doing her uni work. Did you have an electric on the front?? I think we spotted you both as well, I pointed to your boat and said "that's the type of boat I wan't" it a great setup. Cheers Roffo Rizzo, Just out of interest, what time was your first fish caught ?? The reason I ask is that for the last 7 weeks my fish fish didn't hit till about 9.00am. How weird's that!

Martin Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Inspires me to have a go on some trout. What is the water level like at Lake Lyell now? Last time I was there it was so low the concrete ramp ended and it was another 100 or so meters to get to the waters edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rizzo Posted May 7, 2008 Author Share Posted May 7, 2008 Inspires me to have a go on some trout. What is the water level like at Lake Lyell now? Last time I was there it was so low the concrete ramp ended and it was another 100 or so meters to get to the waters edge. I spoke to the care taker of the area and he said it was 48% full. its still has a long way to go yet as you can see the original water line when lake is at full water capacity, a few years back at 25 to 30% i used to trek walk and fish Farmers Creek and used to find tassie devils and other rig ups in trees from other fishos trolling and snagging up when lake high up.

breambusters Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Great work on your Rainbows, My wife and I also went to Lake Lyell on Monday and we camped in a tent for 2 nights, I was taking a kip in the afternoon in the tent one day when my wife Vicki took one of the rods and went for a walk up the bank. After about an hour I woke and went looking for her in the boat. I found her about half a km from camp, her jeans were wet half way up her legs and she was frezzing. She had langed a nice rainbow on a pink tassie devil but droped in on the edge of the water. She says she through the rod and jumped in the water and thrust the rainbow back up on the bank. Alas it was the only fish we caught for the trip and again I was out fished by the misses. But we had a great 2 nights camping with a great roaring fire to keep us warm along with a few cold drinks Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
