Nice Rainbow Trout from Pejar Dam
Submitted by Goatch on Fri, 2012-05-11 11:16
Well while travelling round Australia I set myself a goal to get a Rainbow Trout , well first crack at the target and I picked up a nice Rainbow at Pejar Dam which is just outside of Goulburn in NSW , was pretty happy with myself .

Nice
Congrats on the trout. Mate first look at the photo and I'm sure others will say it: it's a beauty. Wouldn't be out of place in a mag. Goes to show you don't need a massive fish to make an awesome quality photo.
The best reason for doing what's right today is tomorrow.

Rainbow?
I looks More Like a Brook Trout. Rainbows have more of a silver flank with out the dots on the belly. Someone tell me if i'm wrong? A Brook Trout is a far better catch than a rainbow on any day as they aren't as common. What time of year was it caught? The dark red looks like it was coming up to spawning time? Im a bit over an hour south of pejar and have seen some awesome fish come out of there, 7 to 15 pound browns and some very big rainbows. I've fished it a few times but have been caught out by the weather or just had a shit day with no fish.

Think they got it wrong.
I've caught plenty of trout around this area. Eucumbene, Jindabyne, Tantangra and heaps of the rivers nearby. Not a rainbow. Bloody nice looking fish but, Great colours. With the deep red on the sides and date of capture they are coming up to spawning time.

Beautiful Rainbow !
Nice to hear Pejar is alive again - was only a few years ago it was at 0% and was just a depressing puddle.
I landed my best ever fish there - an 8lb Brown - fond memories ! :)
