Cracking session Robbie! The best point you have made in this video is to slow your retrieve right down when a using Strike Tiger micro spoon. They are easy to use like that and the results speak for themselves :)
Thanks Cam. Absolutely beautiful sound. I love just listening to nature when I am fishing. A little further up the creek there was an Eastern Whip Bird singing out. They have the best sound but are so hard to ever sight. LOL
Loving it Robbie, you need to get to Tassie for a flick! my best was 35yo in little pine tier in central Tassie, it was an 80cm brown on a surface fly, it ran me around the lake for 30 mins before I got it in the net!. Its still on the wall today!
WOW Now that's a true monster. I went to Tassie back in February for a wedding. I wasn't fishing. I was only there in Ulverstone for a few days and absolutely loved it. I dream of the day that I get back down there.
thankyou for the vid mate! Love your work. Dont tell anyone but the 10 gram wonder wobbler in silver or gold is my go to lure in lakes and resevoirs, especially when you have to cast into wind. My best brown{it wasnt ex brood stock) was 76cm and fell to a gold wonder wobbler spoon. Often people dont realize that a cheap 6 dollar spoon lure can be so effective. I normally fly fish but if im hitting water with big fish and the wind is going to make fly fishing a pain in the proverbial, spoons! Wonder frickin wobblin spoons! Ive caught over 50 trout over 2kg on these bits of metal. Gotta love the metal!
My dad and me used to fish the small streams in Southland NZ most would head off to the big rivers like the Matura and Oreti along with others , We used to kill it best was 21 on a news years morning with me carrying a hang over all in the 1/3 pound range and fight to the bitter end a great time never forgotten.
hey robbie, love the videos, just something I noticed at the beginning of the video that you have the hooks in the eye of the guides, if you put it on the arms that attach the ring to the rod they are less likely to break and your rod will have a much longer life for you to enjoy. keep up the good fishing mate
Bit of a Robbie fishing catch up for me today I have never used spoons at all think I might have to give them a go 👍🏼 If you see this mate wondering what Rod/reel you use for these micro spoons and the strike tigers nymphs?
Great video ! Thanks. I’ve been fishing small spoons since the early 70’s in streams in Colorado and Wyoming. I replace the single hooks with “barbless” trebles, better for the fish and a lot more hook ups.
Been there done that myself Robbie, down the reefs couple yrs ago here in Geraldton on the west coast, brand new waxwing, biggest bugger they make, 1st cast got smashed and bricked almost instantly, bloody devo'd $40 gone in 1 cast 😂😒😒 You got some lovely fish today mate 👍👍 Love ya work bloke
Hey mate whats your precautions for snakes when travelling along grassy trails like along this river? Past month I've nearly been done in by 2 tiger snakes that seem to just be out of view until you startle them. Cheers, love the videos
Hey mate I always watch where I put my feet, and always try to wear gumboots when walking in snaky areas. As a snake lover, I can tell you one thing.... if they wanted to bite you, they would have. As much as I love snakes they still scare the crap out if me when I don't see them until it's too late. Haha
G'day G'day Robbie really enjoyed your micro spoons. Big fan of spoons for trout. Archie uses them all the time with great results. Thanks for your videos mate 👍
Hey champ, awesome video as always, them lighting strikes on your last yabbie video are crazy impressive! I dropped my Samsung Galaxy s20 about 227 times in the river and my screen was cracked as. Never misses a beat! 👌👌👌
Thabks mate. That was an insane lightning show. Haha My S20 ultra is still going strong although the camera is playing up. I may need to upgrade soon. I hate upgrading mobile phones. LOL
Nice video Robbie, I’m pretty happy with my hook up rate with single hooks. Probably a confidence thing again but I have found single hooks are more or just as productive as trebles without doing as much damage to a fish.
hahahaha I think it is still alive. It's still working fine but the camera seems to be having a few issues. I will have to see how it worms in my next stream. LOL
Your running 4 pound mono Robbie? Always found 6 pound mono better for rough and tumble creek fishing,just found 4 pound gets roughed up and you end up getting break off's like you had with the first fish on the micro spoon. Just my two bobs worth LOL. Beautiful browns mate and top footage.
Thanks mate. I reckon you are right. Yes, I always run 4lb. I prefer it for better casting but 6 is better for a few other reasons including that. I tried to buy a new spool of line a ACF in Wang last week but they were out of stock. Thankfully I was able to buy a 100m spool of 4lm this week so can finally replace that old line.
In one of my favourite spots I was fishing and got 2 over about 45 min and 300m and then a bloke appeared and I was just behind him as he could he me getting excited when I got one and he didn't get anything. Just shows the right lures on a day can make the difference
@@robbiefishing thats good to know mate I always worry if I lose a fish with a lure in its mouth and did not know if I should try and always use barbless. Cheers love the channel mate
I've lost two spoons in one session! Got caught on some weeds and then a cast another one into a tree! Hahah. Great learning experience. :) Ta for the video
Thanks mate. Haha I know all about trees. I went fly fishing for the first time this spring today.... I've never caught so many trees in one session. LOL
@@robbiefishing I’m from the U.S. Freshwater trout fishing is one of my favorite hobbies! I mainly fish in small/medium sized rivers and large streams (like in this video).
Another great day out Robbie. Thanks for the run down on the spoons. I picked a few up, haven't had a chance to use them yet. Doubt mine are as attractive to trout as yours! :-) Even when you lose them they're in a fishes mouth!! You've got me keen on these and the leeches now. How are the post lockdown crowds going?? Hope life is good mate. Cheers PP
Thanks PP. There's people everywhere. haha Scary times for sure. We haven't had covid in Wang until now and now there's 80 cases or something and about 5 times that many in Wodonga. There's certainly a lot of people around which is excellent for the regional economy. Just a tad scary that's all. LOL I hope that you are all well.
Cracking session Robbie! The best point you have made in this video is to slow your retrieve right down when a using Strike Tiger micro spoon. They are easy to use like that and the results speak for themselves :)
Thanks mate. Yep, It tool me a little while the first time I used them, but slowly I figured out that slower is better.
Love your work Robbie. Your vids have taught me heaps. You are the trout whisperer. Keep it up
Love your videos. Love the enthusiasm and the way you go about fishing.
Hu Daniel thank you so much mate.
Lovely fish Robbie! That first one liked the new UV enhanced micro spoon so much he positively took it home to the 'pool' room .....
Haha thanks Frank. LOL I was so disappointed. I must have had a weak spot in my line.
The bird is a Thornbill Robbie. Cutest and tiniest little birds.
Awesome, thanks so much mate. I was really hoping that someone would let me know. What a beautoful little bird.
Nice mate, beat me to it, pretty little birds.
Another great video.love the look of the creek.nice looking water.no blackberry yes 👍
Great fishing with that spoon Robbie, those trout really went for it mate.
That's a lovely venue mate and the fish ain't to shabby either.. I enjoyed that almost as much as you did rob lol...
Thanks rob ...all the best 😎🇬🇧
Thanks so much Michael.
Good one mate glad someone identified the bird we have them up here to I heard them the other day. Enjoyed that video thanks 👍👍👍👍

I find micro spoons work very well even on highly pressured water because so few other people fish them. Most fish have never seen one.
Awesome session Robbie. Very informative too ✌️🙂
This channel is my favourite you fishing channel
Thank you so much mate.

WOW mate that is so cool. I have long dreamed of fishing in NZ and doing just that. Sneaking off into some tiny tributaries like I do here.
"ill get that spoon out of ya gob" lol. Gold.
LOL Bloody good old Aussie slang that is Moose. haha
Love the underwater release shots. Great video as usual
Thanks so much Steve.
How beautiful do Brown Trout look 😍
Ripper video mate. And the new colours look great!
Thanks buddy. They certainly worked a treat.

Wow that’s a great video Robbie! A fantastic hookup rate and beautiful brown trout. 👍🏻
Thanks so much Kevin. You should have seen me hiking out.... I sounded like Thomas The Tank Engine puffing and panting up that steep hill!
Interesting little lure. Nice brownies Robbie. Again, a good video. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks mate. I caught my very first ever trout in this creek.
All of those fish were solid eating fish mate. What a good session.
Thanks mate. Sure is a ripper stream.
they were crawling all over that micro spoon haha! Beautiful fish too. Well done
Thanks mate. Walking out was interesting. LOL

Hey Dave thanks so much mate. I hope you and Archie are getting onto a few.
Yeah mate Archie got his new PB biggest trout. Check him out if you get a chance
Entertaining as always.

great video Robbie i might have to grab on myself
Hey bud great video as always. For streams I would use a Dock demon spin cast great for tiny lures and easier to get around bushes or trees.
Hey James thanks for the heads up. I will check them out.
Nice video Robbie,
I’m pretty happy with my hook up rate with single hooks. Probably a confidence thing again but I have found single hooks are more or just as productive as trebles without doing as much damage to a fish.
Thanks Jay. I love that single hooks are so easy to unhook, making them a great option for catch and release.
Great vid mate keep up the good work
Thanks so much mate.
@@robbiefishing All good mate keep the good work
Awesome video mate scooped a few brownies up with that micro spoon. Did your stream-ing improve once your phone went in the drink?
hahahaha I think it is still alive. It's still working fine but the camera seems to be having a few issues. I will have to see how it worms in my next stream. LOL
Puts a NEW spin on 'spooning'!
hahahaha

Robbie are you using braid or mono ? And what lbs if you don’t mind.
When are you going carp fishing next?
The You Beauty Song, 🎼 I was minding business down in the creek, there was old brown trout I was hoping to meet...
Haha sounds perfect for the opening verse mate. 🤣🤣
I wonder how they would work on some salt water species in the Yak 🍻👍🤔
Hey mate I have no idea as I know very little about salt water species. LOL
Nice one mate 👌❤❤
You beauty. I had a lot of fun watching. You beauty.
Haha thanks Vincent. You beauty.
Do you think if you use barbless single hooks the fish have a chance of shaking the lure out and surviving if they break you off?
Absolutely. The fish will easily get rid of this hook in it's mouth anyway.
