Made the trek down to the Warren River yesterday for a bit of a arvo session chasing reddies in the kayak. Put in at Draftys camp along heartbreak trail around 3pm and headed upstream to begin with. An absolute awesome looking river with deep sections, a huge amount of structure with fallen trees and rocks so the anticipation was high. Just as we started fishing the sky opened up and it proceeded to belt down for the next 20 minutes saturating us in the process, not a great start! Flicked sx40's, rmg's, laser pro's and rapala CD1's in all colours for the next hour on the juiciest looking snags for zero interest with not so much as a follow. Tried a celta spinner and had one follow from a nice trout after 20 minutes but nothing else. paddled further to a deep snag and jigged zman grubs in pumpkin seed and pink with again no interest!! I was astounded to say the least that after 4hrs fishing between two of us we saw no redfin and just the one trout!
I'll put it down to one of those days as the weather was turning for the worse and the fish just weren't on. On the bright side it still beat the shit out of working, floating down a beautiful river with great scenery and the birds chirping away. I'm definitely keen to get back down there and explore some more of the river that just looks so fishy and hopefully have some better luck.
