trout report

For two days fishing I caught around 25-35 trout ranging from 23cm to 35cm near all were caught on strike tiger nymph soft plastic. With the exception of a few on skinny pops and duo toto's. The trout were voracious taking the lures right at you feet or at the bow of the kayak. When retrieving the skinny pop I made it barely pop just to create a disturbance on the surface let it sit for a few seconds. With the nymph any retrieve worked, straight wind or lots of twitches but letting it sink is when the trout took it the most. For the toto it wobbles when sinking so just a quick twitch up and let it sink again. I only ended up taking 2.

When we were there all we could get them on was "corn kernels". Wouldnt touch the lures.

Ben it looks like Karri Valley Resort.
