First River Trout capture

Hi all

Just got back from a Eucumbene trip over 5 days, the weather was terrible but managed to get in a couple of days of fishing.
Finally managed to get my first ever river trout a nice 49cm brown which was caught on a Rapala XR6.Its not a monster but I'm stoked to have caught it in the Eucumbene River which has made a dream come true.

Cheers
Marty.

Well done marty. There's something special about chasing trout in rivers, just ask Adrian

True mate Adrian's reports encouraged me to have a crack and I couldn't have picked a better place to do it.

Thanks mate a few were caught Anth but most days it was a combination of rain, wind and light snowfalls so it was hard to fish both the river and the lake in the pic is the snow showers we got a lot of ,most guys we spoke to were doing it tough as well ill post some more of my captures tomorrow :thumbsup:

No doubt it would have been tough going with that kind of weather. Were you getting ice building up on the tip of your rod and line roller?
Awesome to be over that way anyway. I can't wait till I can get back there. Such a beautiful place.
So does that mean you're hooked and back every year or what? There isn't much you can compare to walking a nice river and catching a trout on a lure.
