Tecwyn Uchaf again

With not a great deal of time today I decided on the easy option and popped up to Tecwyn Uchaf for an hour or so. It was Rainbows from the first cast, I think the place must have recently been stocked as the fish are all of the same size and were absolutely smashing minnows in the margins.

Stockies are a bit boring if you ask me but they're still loads better than work!

A better day weather wise mind and the views from up there are pretty cool, always something to stimulate the senses.

Tight Lines.

Wild and Windy With a High Chance of Rainbows

It was blowing an absolute hoolie today and a bloody strong easterly too. This put to bed my first idea  for some rockfishing on the peninsula, I didn't really want to be struggling up there after a good hour or so drive. I therefore decided to stay local and fish for Trout once more.

I visited Tecwyn Uchaf first but boy it was cold up there! I didn't venture too far around the lake, I figured the food and fish would end up on the west end anyhow, being as the wind was blowing fierce to that end, it seemed as though I was right too as third cast in I had a small Rainbow in the net.

I hooked and lost three more and landed another of similar size too. I was honestly hoping to get some brownies but both the wind and Rainbows got the better of me and I headed off to Cooks Dam to get some shelter and try for some wild fish there. 

One thing more noticeable than Tecwyn Uchaf is how low the water is just now, we have had so little rain through April, things just seem weird.

The fishing was a little tougher at the Dam but eventually I did get some Brownies on the Duo Spearhead Ryuki 50S, they were quite the acrobats today too!

Though there was nothing epic I feel quite satisfied with that little session, I do however desperately need a decent full on salt fix soon! I do really enjoy fishing for Trout but I am even starting to miss the small Pollock now, lets hope I can get on it soon!

Tight Lines for now.

Trout Minnows

Here are a few Trout Minnows I really rate;

From right to left; Duo Spearhead Ryuki 50S 4.5g, Supremo Baila 50H 5g, Jackson Kanade 50 5g, Jackson Trout Tune 55 HW 6g, Smith D-Contact 63 7g and the Duo Spearhead Ryuki 60S 6.5g.

These are all superbly made lures to cover a few different situations, I feel they excel on streams and rivers and that is what they are designed for, however they are effective on some lakes too. 

They're all pretty easy to get hold of aside from the Supremo lures and if you have a good supplier please let me know!

Lastly, here's a picture I quite like from the other evening of a Smolt on the Spearhead 50S;
