Eildon Pondage
I was at Eildon today so I thought I'd take the opportunity to christen my new outfit in the Pondage.
I only had an hour to spare and only managed one take. Unfortunately the rear trebles caught the gills so I didn't release the 35cm rainbow.
Plenty of people fishing but I didn't see any other fish landed.
Fisheries released 150 ex broodstock rainbows during the week, between 1kg to 2.5 kg.

Re: Eildon Pondage
I just weighed it; it came in at 511gm so not one that Fisheries released.
I caught it in the lower pondage just beside the bridge. I initially tried 50 metres further down as I expected that would be where they would release them. I did see 1 small trout cruising in the shallows but there were 5 people fishing that area and no one had a touch.

:nicefish: good work, cheers davo
It's an exhilarating feeling catching a fish
But it's an even better feeling releasing them

Re: Eildon Pondage
I reckon if he is talking about trebles catching the gills, he had a lure on. Not bait.
Maybe a tassie devil?
