Hi All,
I headed up to lake Yarrambat this arvo with the kids in tow. I've been to Yarrambat a few times and it's always resulted in doughnuts.
I'm pleased to say that there were a number of firsts for me this weekend!
There were a few fishing the lake and not long after we arrived a family further up landed a little brown. We rigged up the lines threw them in and waited.
After a while with zero action I thought I'd have a go at spinning. I put on a Tassie Devil and started thrashing away. The kids had gotten bored of waiting by this stage and headed off to play and not long after they left a fish hit my lure hard and I pulled in a nice little brown.
He was a bit small so after the kids had had a look I popped him back. Not long after it was time to pull up stumps anyway.
So as I said there were a few firsts. First fish out of Yarrambat, first freshwater fish on a lure and first trout!
Overall a nice little afternoon!

Re: Yarrambat Lake

Re: Yarrambat Lake
Maybe they were rainbows, having never caught either I wouldn't tell the difference! I did note it was rather pale, not as dark in colour as I expected. I'll pay much closer attention next time!

Re: Yarrambat Lake
Though each fish may vary in appearance due to condition, age, location etc, there are distinctive characteristics of both that make it easy to identify them. Looking at these two images it is easy to see where each gets their name.
