Thanks man. Yeah after I came back to the cabin and look over the footage and saw the pattern + tail. I knew it was one. He was decent too, hoping to go back and target them.
I went fishing for trout all the way down from Wangaratta to Cheshunt south and had no luck at all. I managed to see 3 lovely big crays and hand picked them then released them of course and I also saw 1 little turtle but no fish at all and I waded through the river all the way down south and did not see a single fish and even all the other people there fishing had not caught a single fish either. Very strange maybe it was too cold or something for them i spent a total of 4 days travelling down the river to the start of William hovell dam and absolutely nothing. Could be a good challenge for ya 👍🏻
Yeah, really weird I had so many follow ups on my lure, some of the trout were really big as well. I think the water still might be a little to cold but as the weather warms, I reckon trout will start to gain more confidence leading to my hookups. Anyway good fishing mate, hope you get some.
I made a special trip 2 months ago, booked a motel in Mt. Beauty so I could fish for trout in the Kiewa river. Even made a day trip to Bright to fish the Ovens river. 3 days of getting up early to try my luck and I got nothing, not a follow up, a strike hell I didn't even see a trout. I was using mepps spinners and trout rapala lures tied off with 6 pound leader on a 7foot light rod. That's the ultimate combo for trout fishing and I came away with nothing. Even trout opening season I fished the Wellington and Macalister river and caught nothing. Where are the trout?
@stavio12 yeah it has been a tough season compared to the last. I mean like we had a lot of follow ups but i find the trout have been less aggressive this season. i haven’t caught anything over 40cm in which is usually a normality when heading to these rivers. Honestly, try your luck in rivers such as the goulburn and fish in the deep holes there, don’t give up (key step, took me all day to get that trout).
Yeah that sucks. When the Ovens is flowing that hard it be difficult to fish anywhere. I was fishing down stream from the Bright Riverside Holiday Park (fishing the same side). If you follow the trail, you’ll come across some of the spots seen in my video. I hope that helps and fingers crossed you can catch a few decent trout.
these are the type of vids ive been lookin for keep posting
Nathan, thanks so much for the kind words. I’m very happy to hear your enjoying the vids man.
Nice Browns bro, also yes a blackfish you fished out of the river.

@@FishingDownUnder1 Thanks for the reply mate. Will definitely keep trying, especially the Goulburn. Cheers.
Where abouts in bright was this I’m fishing in bright now and it’s flowing so hard

@ yeah thanks I’ve managed to get 1 in the fast flowing water, the people on the tubes are making it hard also
Yeah, don’t worry it took me two days to get my first one. Your probably doing better than me 🤣
