Tangip River

Date: 30 Dec 2013

Weather: Sunny 

Crew: Dave

Target Fish: Trout

Bait: Lures - Spinners 5g Celtas

Berley: None

Catch: 4 x Brown Trout (tiny - see pic)

Report: Third try at this river - such beautiful scenery. River access is about 30 mins on a gravel road - I spotted a few other access points downstream of the fork. Tried a new spot - East river, starting just downstream from the first river crossing. Action was pretty consistent, lost another couple - one felt like a big fish. Slipped on a rock and bruised my knee. All fish released.

Weather: Sunny 

Crew: Dave, Toon

Target Fish: Trout

Bait: Lures - Spinners 5g Celtas, Rapala CD5 Brown Trout

Berley: None

Catch: 4 x Rainbow Trout (average stream size)

Report: Started at the normal spot, Dave wandered downstream and Toon started at the bridge. Toon landed a solid rainbow just past the bridge. Tried a new spot further upstream, had to climb some fences. Dave managed two rainbows, Toon couldn't find a clear stretch of river - too much debris. Had another little go at a spot further upstream again where Toon managed a little guy. All fish released.

Currawong Camp

Date: 15-17 Nov-2013
Weather: Mild
Crew: Toon, Ross, Willo
Target Fish: Trout
Bait: Lures - Spinners
Berley: None
Catch: 1 x Small Brown Trout
Report: Beautiful countryside and fished two days in total for one small trout and a missed opp. Walked upstream for a good couple of hours with little luck. Campsite was awesome, and there is heaps of 4wd up this way to take advantage of. River was crystal clear and temp was nice even though it was semi-cold in this part of the alpine forest.
