Harvey Trout ,,,again

Sorry if you are over me and Harvey dam but i am having a ball down there at the momment and this Is really my first trout season that I have  got out and given it a real go.

We headed of down there again this morning at 4am and got the line wet at about 6 am , man it was cold even though we were just fishing from the bank at this stage, my hands had gone blue from the cold .

At about 8 it had warmed up so we could once again feel our hands we moved round to the back of the dam and fond a nice spot with lots of trees in the water , turned out to be a great sppot , I caught a nice male rainbow of about 38cm which we sent back into the water and then one of my sons got onto a nice rainbow , estimated to be about the 30+ cm , unfortunately it did some nice aerobatics and threw the hook , i had the same thing happen about five mins later, all went better about 20 mins later when I landed a nice rainbow that went just over 2.4lb and 43cm long .

was another great day down there ,cant wait till next time .

No need to apologise....  I enjoy seeing anything with scales (provided its legal), as with 2 young daughters taking up most of my time, I don't get to go fishing anywhwere near as much as I would like.  Have to get my fix via Fishwrecked.  Keep up the posts!
