It's an exhilarating feeling catching a fish
But it's an even better feeling releasing them

Re: Thomson River 15/5
I cooked it up for the grandparents a little while ago.
The flesh was white when cooked, unlike the ones I caught last year at Blue Rock which were pink. I cooked this one the same way as the others and I reckon the pink fleshed trout tasted better.

Re: Thomson River 15/5
Yes, I can see your point in dragging the Yak up a steep incline.. That would be enough to make me think twice about going back too.. It's always worse after you've had a few hours on the water, get back tired and then have to take the Yak uphill... Not good at all, would be even worse on a hot day too..

Re: Thomson River 15/5
Cheers. I might give yabbies a go as bait next time I head to Blue Rock if that is what they've been feeding on. Should work ok drifted unweighted among the snags.Fishomicko wrote:The trouts flesh turns pink when there feeding on yabbies4liters wrote:I cooked it up for the grandparents a little while ago.

Re: Thomson River 15/5
You can launch your yak just down from the dam wall and yak down to the bridge it's a big day but there's some great fishing spots on the way I done the canoe trail up there years ago always talk about doing it again you might have just inspired me

Re: Thomson River 15/5
Take a trout rod, it was great fun flicking lures at the snags as I passed by.
