Barrington Tops

[Dave_]

G'day Raiders,

This is a fairly late report, my apologies as I've been flat out.

Me and the young fella went for a look up at Barrington Tops a couple of Sundays ago. I decided to try a spot I hadn't been to called Junction pools. For anyone who knows the Tops, you take a right just past Polblue camp grounds and follow Barrington trail for about 12 km's.

We finally got there (1st and second gear all the way) and the scenery was amazing and it definitely looked fishy.

We used lures, plastics and bait. We had a few missed chances, then the young bloke hooked up to a small fish on the Trout Powerbait. I dropped another small fish on a tassie devil lure. We tried hard but the fish were really shy.

I dug up some worms from the river bank. I was getting bites every time with these but I couldn't hook up. We were just about to leave when I finally hooked up. Another small fish but still fun.

Seen heaps of wildlife, kangaroos, wallabies, possums, a wombat, wild goats, different birds etc. Not a bad day for someone who's a pretty hopeless Trout fisho.

Cheers

Dave
