Fishing Victoria Forum

Beautiful weather conditions prevailed today (at last) so I spent a couple of hours back in a tannin stream. The water level was higher than I would have liked, plus with snow melt the water temp had dropped to four degrees. It turned out to be a reasonable spin session with five well conditioned wild browns being caught & released from nine hits and six hook ups. A well used and just about worn out Mepps #00 Aglia gold caught the first trout, the rest were taken on a #0 Aglia Fluo (micro pigment) rainbo spinner.

Great looking trout, four degrees seems incredibly cold, can’t imagine how it would feel to fall in.

Fall in... It will soon wake you up that's for sure.. I did take a tumble around 17 years ago early in the season, that taught me a good lesson to go slow & easy.. Now at 74 years of age I'm slow anyway The tannin water trout are all beautifully coloured fish too, just love fishing these small streams..
