The creek out does the river.. (video)

Post by meppstas » Mon Oct 15, 2018 9:00 pm

Spent a few hours chasing trout again today without a lot of success once again. I can't work out why the trout have almost vanished from what is my favorite trout water. The stretch of river I fished today gave up nothing apart from a follow from a small brown and three very light hit & misses from other trout. It's a stretch of river that usually fishes very well and a catch of five to 15 trout here for me is normal.. Not any more though & I'd love to know why.. It may come good in a few weeks, only time will tell.. So on the way home I hopped into a small creek that was running very low, but I did spot a trout dart off and that was good enough for me to have a spin session in it.. The video clip will show you what happened in both waters any way,,The weather conditions were good with it being very overcast and cool, only problem was the ENE breeze, something I never like to fish in as it's never been a good wind for fishing.. Sorry but the video runs for just on 12 minutes..

cheers
Adrian

Great stuff Adrian,
Dare I say it, the videos are better than the stills, although I miss your written reports
The trout know your coming, try somewhere new
Cheers Gra

Thank you for sharing that... Lovely water, and easy to see why you keep returning, quite a special piece of country. Seeing the platypus reminded me of the creek at home (Sunshine Coast QLD) from when I was a boy, and how I was very fond of seeing him there cause to me it had always meant the creek was healthy.
cheers!

Thanks guys, always love seeing platypus in the rivers and streams.. It's even better when they swim around your legs while feeding too.. As long as one stands dead still they rarely spot you and will continue to search for a feed on the river/creek bottom.. they're just one of the highlights of trot fishing the rivers, streams & creeks down here..

cheers
