Yea River

Date: 09 December 2012
Weather: Sunny, very windy
Crew: Dave, Ross
Target Fish: Trout
Bait: Lures - Spinners 5g Brown Trout, Rapala CD5 - Spotted Dog
Berley: None
Catch: 3 x Rainbow Trout (small) - lost another 2.
Report: Pretty nice morning. Fished the Bitwenjopit before hitting the Yea River. Yea did not produce any fish and was very dificult to wade - not worth hitting again. Ross demonstrated an appreciation of the cost of Rapala lures. All fish released.

Bitwenjopit River

Date: 02 December 2012
Weather: Overcast
Crew: Dave
Target Fish: Trout
Bait: Lures - Spinners 5g Brown Trout, Rapala CD5 - Brown Trout
Berley: None
Catch: 2 x Rainbow Trout, 1 x Brown Trout
Report: Pretty crazy action early on. Landed a tiny rainbow on my second cast, then hooked an absolute monster rainbow - this beast was 40 cm plus. Managed to get bring it right up to my boot before snapping the line - absolutely shattered. Biggest trout I've ever seen by an absolute mile. Hooked another fish when I simply dragged the tip of my rod through the water to test the lure action.
