Dalucius Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 It's been a while since my last report so it's nice to have something to mention. Geoff and I have just returned from Lake Wallace (near Lithgow NSW). We arrived Monday 4th hoping we could catch a trout or two. The following day I managed to catch my first Redfin @ 28cm. I was using rainbow power bait so it was a big surprise. We were told they are great to eat. Geoff was spinning using a Squidgie Wriggler colour Wasabi. He caught 3 little ones. If your looking for a nice spot for the kids Lake Wallace is a lovely place. No power boats allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cameldownunder Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Not the biggest, but yes, they are nice eating. Filet skinless ( because their skin is very tough ), beer egg coating, quick fry, lemon and mayonaise ( yes very European ), with bolied papatoes or fries. Lake looks nice with nice description. Thanks for the tip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luderick -angler Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Thanks for sharing but can't say I am happy about the Redfin there as what was once a trophy trout dam is now ruined they were also putting bass in there! Some idiot thought it would be great to put them in?????? They are now spread all the way down the foxes to lug all!!!! Go for it folks get up there catch as many as you can and don't release them!

Dalucius Posted April 9, 2016 Author Share Posted April 9, 2016 Thanks everyone. Thanks for sharing but can't say I am happy about the Redfin there as what was once a trophy trout dam is now ruined they were also putting bass in there! Some idiot thought it would be great to put them in?????? They are now spread all the way down the foxes to lug all!!!! Go for it folks get up there catch as many as you can and don't release them! I agree. I would have preferred a trout or even a bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volitan Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 They are now spread all the way down the foxes to lug all!!!! Coxes to Lyle ??? Not being smart, it's just news to me and I want to know what's going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luderick -angler Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Okay so Redfin have established themselves in numbers in lake Lyell and have been reported in the coxes between the two dams. There's two theories rhey came over from Wallace these Redfin were from an impoundment on the upper coxes when it burst and flooded. The second theory on Lyell Redfin is they were deliberately dumped like they were at Wentworth Falls dam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lizardboy Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 (edited) Not good, they'll get below Lyell before long I guess, and eventually over warragamba and into the Nepean? Edited April 14, 2016 by Lizardboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
