Freshwater Fishing

[KEV0044]

G'day .
Anyone on this forum into freshwater fishing for Trout or Aussie Bass ?
Cheers ,
Kev .

Yep, i reckon the best fishing is Bass fishing, i love it!!
Not into the impoundment sought of stuff but love the wild river bass fishing.
Gotta love a huge surface strike on first light in the morning:cool:

CHEERS TIM.

i used to chase trout when i lived in vic now im in hervey bay i chase bass often and love it :D

[KEV0044]

So I guess that makes 'three' of us :D
I mainly search for trout in nsw and victoria at any time of year.
Rivers and streams in the open season - and impoundments during Winter .
I normally reserve my Bass fishing for Summer .
Nothing like using the Landy to get you down to a great remote freshwater stream and set up camp with a tent and a campfire :thumbsup:

[Grumbles]

Yeah. I'll stick my hand up. Trout in Vic.

[hiline]

my hand is up also :D

nothing beats walking the rivers chasing a trout or reddie ;)

[Hoodoo Brown]

Trout chasing in the Snowys, anytime I can get away. The real reason for owing a Landy or two.

Ok - So we have a few starters :)
I was contemplating putting a few topics up for discussion specifically for the freshwater fishos out there .
Fly Fishing
Spin Fishing
Bait Fishing
Boat Fishing
Clothing
Gear and Tackle
I think this section of AULRO has been stagnating for a while so why not make an effort to make it work :)

Hey Kev
If you want to start seperate threads on those topics do so and I can sticky them so they are always at the top of the Shack and dont get lost in previous months threads if they get stale.

Thank's Andy ;)
I think I have to get used to the new 'posting photos' format on the forum first .
Last time I was here it was very easy :)
I used to just add a 'j-Peg' attachment to the post .
I will experiment with this before posting a new topic .
cheers
Kev .

So gentlemen,,,what are we going to discuss first,,,:D

more time needed away from the kids sports for my sport ;)

cant do much at the moment though as its closed season :(
but some rivers are catch and release,so fishing is fine

[KEV0044]

Haven't worked out how to post full size pics yet but the 'attachments' seem to be working ok :)
Since it's Winter in Australia I thought that Clothing may be an important topic .

[LandyAndy]

Hi Kev
Ive made that thread "sticky",it will remain up the top,add to it as you would a normal thread.
Great idea we shall see how they go.
If anybody else wishes to do similar threads let me know.

Bass and trout here too, although only a relative beginner. Now getting ever closer to retirement so will be looking to do more when possible. Oh, I also like catching and eating Yellowbelly (Golden Perch, Callup) from our western rivers.

[KEV0044]

That's a pretty good effort of 'hands up' guys :)
I'm sure there are lots more members out there that don't post often on the forum but also enjoy freshwater fishing .
I also teach 'Fly Fishing' if anyone is interested in that side of the sport :)

Hey, I've heard that the trout up at Eucumbene have done the submarine thing again.... very quiet...

anyone go up that way much ?

Hi Kev
A write up on fly fishing would be great.
Never tried it,but have watched a few masters of the art cast,its good to see.
Really enjoyed that Rob Stitch show on the ABC,A River Somewhere.Great fishing,scenery and comedy too.

Try and learn how guys -it is great fun. Then when you have mastered the basics try nightime fly fishing. Total black night and black flies - a real winner. And the golden rule is - The blacker the night the blacker the fly.

I don't mind a spot of flyfishing for trout. Hence the log on name :). Get to tassie as often as I can and down to northern NSW on the occassional long weekend. I love fishing small streams and dont mind if the fish are small so long as the scenery is good. Parking the landie by a stream setting up the tent and getting a fire going with a coldie in hand is heaven for me. I am defintely not a good fisherman. I am happy if a get a couple of fish on a trip and are just as happy to watch my fishing mate putting in the effort and catch all the fish :(.

Yeah Andy :)
I think a topic on Fly Fishing would be a good 'stickey' topic .
Give me some time and I'll put up a topic post on the subject .
cheers ,
