warroona trout

hi guys

i made the decision today to make the short 40min treck to warroona dam for the sunset bite and see if i could tempt some redfin or trout to play nice

after 5min of walking the bank me and my mate stuart found a deep pool with a water fall feeding ice cold water into the dam i thought wat an awsome spot as i got closer to  the bank i couldnt belive my eyes when i spoted no more than 30 big ex-brood stock rainbows sitting in the current as i was busly rigging my fly rod with a green wolly bugger stuart had beaten my to it and had the tiny celta i lent him smashed by 1.5 kg of angary trout after a short fight i helped him net the fish and quickly took a couple of pics.

i quickly finished rigging my fly rod and send a quick 2meter cast into the waiting fish for instant hookup after a spireted tussle i banked a beautifle 2kg rainbow

we went on to land 6 more fish around the same size before we left them biting and left the dam whilst there was still a bit of light around for the drive home

They are bloody ripper trout mate, i love when they get that big and start to have that Salmonoid hooked beak look.

Have to dust my trout gear off soon and get stuck into them!

advice um fish the light changes sun up sun down fish the side of the dam were the wind is it blows all the little bugs down one end and the fish know this and congregate at that on end and be very very quiet were hunting trout oh and try to blend in with your sorounds these fish have great eyesight
