Jamiel1000 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Hi all, Has anyone been up to TCD in the last week or so and had any luck? If so what methods were used. Thinking about tracking up there on Sat for a day of fun/torture. Any info would be great. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roffo Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Hi Gang, A couple of my mates hit TCD during the week and got 2 average fish for 8 hours. Stick with Lyall for another week or 3. Cheers Roffo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smitty Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Yes dear, a friend was up there last week and fished all day for one 35cm rainbow. He got the fish early when the weather was crappy and as the weather improved the fishing went down hill. Bloody lot of hard work if you ask me. Chris...

Jamiel1000 Posted June 22, 2008 Author Share Posted June 22, 2008 We went up to TCD and go there at sun up. the 3 of us battled the westerly and fished our way around to the quarry and back again. zip, duck egg and nada was caught we saw a couple of blokes on the other side that caught a smally and they made their way around past us and down towards the wall were they pulled out another better fish. Us there stil nothing. Highlight of the trip was watching a massive eagle hovering above the water for about 20 mins and then diving down a pulling what looked to be 50+ brown out of the water (smart arse). then it was off to Lyell (should have gone straight home) another 2 hours of wind and no fish. A couple of blokes went past in a boat and we asked them how they went, between 4 blokes they had 2 fish all day. It was then time to hit the highway. Maybe next time.

Fishlessmick Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Hi guys, How was the water level ? myself and a mate have been there twice in the past 6 weeks where the water level had dropped about 1m in between trips. cheers Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanning.j Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 TC had apparently dropped about 1m in about 3 weeks according to my NWS RFS friend which would confirm what you thought Mick.Lake Wallace was full to the top! I saw your eagle last wed which was being mobbed by a couple of magpies,risky to say the least! TC has always been very hard to predict,fish there one minute and gone the next,not to reappear for a number of days!!!! Cheers Stanno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzla Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 hey fishraiders first post on your wonderful website,been readin for a while now and though i would finally join.i was there on saturday too and saw the eagle as well,awsome stuff,been lucky enough to see it a few times now(also at lyell).shame you and the other guys moved on cause the arvo fired up and we stayed till dark,ended up with 6 rainbows.cold and hard work with the wind though.im lucky enough to usually have a fish out there every week and lately the levels have consistently gone down(as soon as it gets water delta suck it back out)but its lookin alot better than when the northeast part of the dam wall was dry.
