went down to karkarook fished from around 2 until dark...
ended up landing 20 small rainbow trout.... all very small around 20cm , my mate managed to land 9
all released of course.. few others there but saw them get maybe 1 or 2 on bait, We were using Hard body lures.

Re: Karkarook today
was originally using a Rapala CD-3 with size 10 daiichi hooks but one of the fish swallowed it too far and bled too much for my liking so i started using a CD-5 with size 8 single lure hooks and the barbs depressed...worked much better... did lose a few thought but would rather lose them than kill a fish for no reason.ducky wrote:Good to see mate. What were you throwing?

Re: Karkarook today
hi rod bender, thanks! was a PB in terms of numbers but to my knowledge it was just stocked... my hope is just that atleast 50% of the fish can survive and grow to a couple of kilos.....like the one my mate caught 2 weeks ago down there.Rod Bender wrote:Well done!

i was using a 'silver' pattern, the red nose, dark silver ontop and light silver under... but im sure any rapalas or similar lures would be highly successful there also.

Good work mate.
This might be my chance to land a fresh water fish lol. Do you have to go to a particular spot there. I've never fished in any freshwater places lol
Cheers
