Well its that time of year again folks, Trout Festival time. It has to be one of my favourite trips of the year, mainly because of the intense action that can follow early morning jaunts. This year the KFA crew will be two down with Craig and Paddy unable to attend. Fellow FangACT member Josh will also not be attending so its up to Jason and I to hold the yak fort. We both intend on camping around Kalkite and fishing through the night and days, in between bite alarm pranks and a round of pitch and putt.
Should be another ripper turnout for the organisers, from all reports the fishing is and has been going off. Jindy must be close to topping 80% and still rising while poor old Eucumbene cops the drain and fall. Why do we fish Jindabyne when Eucy seems to do much better? Well thats a missconceived perception but Eucumbene definately receives more boating pressure, and in turn traffic. Jindy has kinder banks to stretch our legs and stylised trolling runs well suited to kayaks.
