Clear low water levels, tough going on the trout fishing..

Post by meppstas » Fri Feb 02, 2018 8:47 am

With low clear water levels in several rivers I fish it's made for some pretty tough trout fishing over the past few weeks and with Russellh heading down this way over the next couple of weeks & Barra Mick in March I've been praying for some rain which is much needed to give the rivers a bit of a lift here in the North of Tassie.. Any way I'm sure we''ll still manage to get onto a fish or two with any luck.. here a few photos from the past few weeks of trout fishing.. By the time Barra Mick gets here we should have had some rain and there'll be some good flow back in the rivers..
The Meander River is flowing (regulated Hydro flow) reasonably well but the trout have been pretty patchy at the moment..

cheers
Adrian
