Yea River 15.12.2019

Fished the mighty Yea River upstream of the town today. Using mostly size 1 vibrax spinners i hooked a couple of nice little browns around 30cm and had about six other fish follow or nudge the lure including one that looked like a pretty solid bigger fish.

Was very wary walking the banks after seeing two small red bellies in the first ten minutes then later saw a cute little tiger that eventually swam away. All up it was a most pleasant session with most likely looking sections holding a fish and the only downside being the flies. Will definitely revisit sometime.

Cheers

Nice fish, sounds like a lot of action.
Did you wear wader or gaiter? I always do. In case of snake encounter like that.
Saw a skin of a decent tiger snake today. It's that time of the year when they're active I'm guessing.

Nice report, vibrax are always a soid option on trout. Nice capture of the snake - i saw a baby tiger the last weekend swim across the Goulburn, then scale up a small bush poking out of the river bank and wrap itself around a branch to sun itself.

Cheers, I’ve always been pretty casual but I think I will invest in some gaiters from now on.

Cheers, they’re such great swimmers they can pretty much go wherever they want.

Cheers, definitely got my interest back in trout after walking for miles on the Tyers River and only seeing one fish the last time I tried.
