Met up with the Canberra / South Coast AKFF members for a fish from the bank ( Powerbait ) and an early dawn raid from the kayak. Friday night saw bugger all activity apart from a decent Rainbow I caught on Lime Twist Powerbait. A few hours earlier though my friend Craig and his brother caught two huge Brook Trout and a nice Rainbow ( Also on Powerbait ).
This was a great trip but I was too busy putting all my time and effort into fishing I forgot to take the usual lump of photos ( Including a massive Brown Trout caught by Squidder ), still managed the token few though. It is a real pity I couldnt snare any of those Brook Trout from the yak, would make for an almost impossible feat to beat them out of the AKFF HOF and top a new personal best.
Quite a rare catch ( Even though heaps were released recently ) and even rarer in that condition, wish I stayed longer as I am sure the point Jason and I fished with Powerbait would have fired up. I wonder if anyone dared venture over there or did you all snuggle round the fire as the temperature dropped?
After numerous trips to Jindabyne, shore based or yak ( The real reason for the lack of reports ) with plenty of dropped fish trolling I was pretty happy to snare two on the troll, it has been a long time coming in between dropping fish. Stalking Trout in highland / alpine / manaro streams is an adventure in itself but landing an XOS specimen Brown Trout from the kayak is my number one goal this year.
I guess my facination with Trout has only just begun...
