Had big plans to fish the Ovens and it's tribuataries, however thought i would give the creek on the property a go first. Had about a 400m length of creek to fish. My first run i decided to chuck on a small spinnerbait, had 1 follow for the entire run.
With a couple of hours of daylight left i decided to go back to basics with unweighted worms. It proved to be a good call.
Landed 8 trout and dropped a few as well. All were good size rainbows 30+ including a nice 42cm model. Great fun on light gear trying to navigate them around the snags, kept the biggest one for dinner that night.
Over the next couple of days i fished exclusively on the property i was staying. Would have landed 25+ trout. One of the best trout fishing weekends i've had without a doubt.
Interesting that all bar 1 of the trout i caught were Rainbows (all of a similar size) no doubt i would have caught the same fish multiple times, with the only brown i caught being the smallest fish.
A couple of pics below.
