Turon trout

[Guest hawkesbass]

Had a early start at 1am too meet at royces house at 2 30am to head up to the turon river too chase some trout.The drive up was uneventfull arriving at sofala just on daybreak after consulting the map we planned our attack for the day and found a location too park on the side of the road with river access so once ready we set off walking the bank and fishing likely looking deeper sections off the river which was hard as the water level was down from normal levels after walking the bank for about four klms we spooked a trout while approaching the deepest pool we found so decided to hit this pool i was using spin gear with royce using the fly gear i had a couple of hits using a wax wing hard body with one three second hookup and that was it for me whereas royce had more luck on the fly gear from the other bank where their was a hatch happening and fish rising too feed on the surface.After many fly changes royce got a good take and within ten seconds this fish busted his leader off after rerigging and many casts later royce is on again with a spirited fight ensuing for five minutes with royce landing a very nice rainbow trout too 44cms after taking some photos the trout was released too live another day.We stuck at for another half hour after this decided too leave and walk out and kept looking for more trout but the water level was just too low all in all a top day out in magic weather and terrain

Thanks for the day out royce

Cheers trevor

Good stuff. Turon Rainbows are such beautiful fish. And then there's that air-clear water.

Nice fish guys, tis a pretty bow. I have only been for a fish once since we went up at TCD with no luck. Am keen as mustard to have another go at the streams though.

Nice work breaking the trout drought Trev!!! I think it is a pretty good effort to be honest, I didn't even know they would go for a lump of bread. I am happy for ya that you got to feel one on your rod. It doesn't really matter how you entice it as long as you do. Besides.. YOU CAUGHT THE TROUT!!!!

That would be great Royce. The weather is heating up too so it may be good times for a bit of wet wading... My speciality (since I don't have waders hehehe).

P.S

The missus got me a new phone (same number) for my birthday so I don't have to talk on loudspeaker anymore. Give me a yell anytime.
