Blue mtns 6/11

Another tough day in the mountains. Exploring some new rivers, found some great spots to return to. Spinning with hardbodies.

Flows were pretty high, and the water murky.

My mate got onto his first brownie, a healthy 35cm model. Got a few hits and follows but no more fish landed. Lost a couple of lures, and swam for a couple more.

Will give it a few weeks before returning, with a dryer spell predicted towards the end of the month. Always nice to explore and find new spots to fish though!

Have you ever used the Tasmanian made Strike Tiger plastics for Trout? A few guys down South reckon they are fantastic, especially in the murky water that currently abounds. bn

Good day out by the sounds of it  when the water drops you should do better

No I haven't tried them, im a big fan of hardbodies and don't really use plastics much... I'll see if I can get my hands on some tho

Try these jackson 1.7 inch crays on a 1/40th head 1/0 hook  drift them thru fast flows where you cant fish divers

Caught this guy on an Atomic prong a few years ago at Thompsons Creek-trout were in frustrated spawn mode , jiggled it in his face until he couldnt take it anymore-also caught a cracking brown on a Berkley Crawfish Powerbait sightcasting at Jindy-still rate that fish as one of my best (sight ,cast and bite)-i certainly think softies have their place with trout

Thanks guys, will look into these options.  @PaddyTthat is a beautiful fish... Full spawning colours!
