Bek's First Trout!


Weather Stuff:

The cold front which is crossing today hasn’t got a great deal of cloud associated with it, thus no real rain is expected. It could trigger a few showers here ‘n’ there.

Fishing Stuff:

Visited Arthurs Lake with the family last weekend, which was an interesting venture. The weather was terrible for fishing with warm, humid and very windy conditions. Bek was still determined to have a fish so we braved the wind and showers and flicked a mudeye out on a float. She wanted to keep holding the rod and kept asking if she had one, but I explained that she would know when she had one on. After about 3 casts ‘n’ drifts she screamed “I got one” to which I though she was just being silly. Then a nice trout jumped out of the water and she fought the fish in close to the shore where I took over and landed the trout. It weighed in just under 2lb and Bek was very excited – not a bad first fish! That was the only fish I seen for the rest of the weekend.
