dirvin21 Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Last week we headed up to the Nymboida full of confidance that we were going to hit some fish. As soon as we pulled up I knew we were in trouble the river was up not by much but it only takes a 6 inch rise to make the Nymboida basically unfishable. After the mandatory swear words plan B was formed and a quic phone call and it was off to chase some trout. The trout creek was also up a bit, but atleast it was fishable It certainly is a magic looking spot The fishing started slow and I mean worryingly slow but after some persistance casting the runs a decent rainbow came from nowhere and smashed my lure I nice 30cm fish good sized for the creek with a bit more confidance kept working my way up the creek with some hits and dropped hookups and finally the hoos stayed in again for another rainbow apologies for the crappy picture quality I kept hooking fish but couldn't keep the hooks in the hits were far between so dropping the fish was frustrating, nearing the top of the property with only 2 fish on the board I pinned the hooks in something more solid the fish didn't flail around like a rainbow and sure enough out came a nice brown a prize capture in this creek measured up at 32cm a new pb and a quality brown for this area not a lot of fish landed and wored hard for them but avoided driving 2 hours for a doughnut and a new pb on a tough day always feels more satisfying cheers fro reading Dave 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJay Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 one of my favourite ways to fish brother, i grew up fishing like this stalking brown trout in the shallows! Never gets old and the bigger they get the smarter they become, its surprising the size of these fellas in small bodies of water , they will happily travel over gravel bars and runs with their backs sticking out sometimes! Awesome shot of the Browny there with the leaves and log backdrop Tight Lines! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
