Jindabyne 27/3

The wanted us to go to Thredbo for the easter weekend, with a couple of friends, and who am I to argue with all the fishing options down there.

In amounst the bush walking and bike riding, I managed a couple of sessions. 1 afternoon session in a place they used call Stinky Bay. Fishing from the shore throwing all manner of hard bodies around unfortunately resulted in nothing, but a couple of follows from very small fish, but did see a few decent sized ones. Had to leave (promised I'd be home for dinner) before prime time, so wasn't too concerned with the doughnut. Haven't spent an entire session just casting hard bodies so it was a good chance to see how a few of them swam, and which ones needed tuning.

Next day we hired a little tinny, and spent the day trolling, flicking hb's ,and baitfishing. Again, not the best times, but she who must be obeyed isn't one for early starts or cold finishes. It's already getting down to 0 degrees at night down there. Anyway to cut a long story short, we managed to troll up a nice little 32cm Rainbow on the trip back using a Stumpjumper.

Cooked up a treat. Here are some pics.

Cheers, Steve.

Thanks Ken. Forgot to mention that the weather was perfect. Although you can probably see that from the pics. Hardly a cloud in the sky, little to no wind. About 18 degrees during the day. Shorts & tee shirts.
