Went up to the Goulburn around Thornton on the weekend, with plenty of success on the trout once again.
Between 4 of us caught about 30 trout over the weekend. Most of the fish fell to worms, tried a lot of different lures, but lightly weight worms were deadly. The Goulburn is my usual trout spot and its probably the most active i've seen the river in my time going there. Fish were constantly rising, spoke to a few fly fishos which all cleaned up, lot's of little fish around. Biggest fish went about 40 see photo.
Fished the Rubicon on sunday which was not without it's events, plenty of trout running around Tumbling waters, including a nice little Brook Trout, which my mate caught.
Went upstream to The Boys camping ground the river was running really fast here still managed a nice little brown see below. On the way back to the car had an unfortunate incident trying to cross a heavy flowing river, for some reason i thought it was a great plan to chuck my bag over the river first. Long storey short i overestimated my throwing ability. Bag landed in the water started taking off down stream. Jumped in after it with the waders on managed to save the bag, luckily had a change of clothes in the car. Unfortunately the phone didn't like the water as much as i did. It's well and truely cooked. Not a great way to end the weekend, but sometimes you just gotta take the good with the bad.
