Fished Eildon yesterday, Started fishing just on sunup and landed 4 Rainbow trout largest was 2.5pnd, all taken trolling with rapalas and vibes using small trout patterns. pinks and oranges didnt work, musta used over 30 lures until we found the right colors.

Yes, they are the old breeding stock from the hatchery.

depth is also important, need to find the thermoclines. So if you want to do the lot you need a thermometer and a bomb with which to set your lures to the correct depth.

Hot pink cobras/tassie devils have worked for us.
