In his previous visit to Tasmania Jason M did very poorly. With his later family visit over Easter, he decided a different approach would be needed if his boys were to catch a Tasmanian trout. Three days and some nefarious methods eventually brought success.
Jason’s report on Natone Trout Ponds
I guess living in UK gives you a head start in the race to get to the marble trout of Slovenia. Geoff’s trip report shows how much good fishing there was – along with some great underwater shots. (His photo album has got some optional treatment of photos for those shutter-heads amongst you).

Some time ago, Lyall tried to introduce a mate from SE Queensland (and shared saltwater fishing trips) to the joys of chasing trout in the Snowies. In particular the aim was to pursue our spotted friends in the skinny water so different to the broad acres of water that they had shared chasing sailfish off Malaysia. Weather stepped in and they were blown off the water. This is the report from his mate describing the more successful second trip conducted recently.
The author is Jason Stratford and he’s published a number of fascinating videos on Vimeo. In particular take a close look at the dude in maritime camo gear in the 2015 Rompin sailfish video!!

Ian recently fished this renowned steelhead river with a friend of his – unfortunately just a little bit early in the season for steelhead, but it seems trout are always around. Click on the link below for the full report and photos:
It was autumn 2016 and Nathan, with his CCI under his belt and tuck cast well and truly mastered, was after a double digit fish. You’ll have to click the link below and read the article to learn whether he did or not.
Suffice to say, this article is exciting stuff with lots of good tips on how to go about it – avoiding the shoulder to shoulder crowds we’ve been seeing.
Burrill Lake is just south of Ulladulla, and has lots of fishing options nearby. In the immediate vicinity is the lake itself, with some access on the East of the highway to the beach. Ulladulla is just north to access coastal fishing for those with larger boats. Durras and some other options are not too far away for other alternatives.
Our March 2016 outing stayed at the Big4 Bungalow Park in cottages (several members having access to special discounts) which offered comfortable accommodation (no bunks in our case) and private access to boat ramp and some section of lake shore. There’s even a 24 hour bait dispensing machine!
Ray A undertook a recce for the March event and provided some notes. Burrill Lake – CAA article
As reported in March Burley Line Luke C recently travelled to New Zealand chasing fish in the salt water. Here is his trip report along with some details on indicative cost/contacts.
Lyall and Nathan recently went on a spey casting course. Their report should be of some interest to members (not just for two handed casters) even if it is not a ‘traditional’ location report.
