Frying Pan, Lake Eucumbene


Paul Harvey and I ventured to the pan once again to be greeted by fair weather. Hooray!!

So during the day polaroiding was the way to go. We did manage to see a few nice fish though some were very spooky. However we did manage to find some fish rising to beetles. Paul and I did have some luck landing a few fish. All of these were browns. Paul caught a very nice brown on a size 16 red tag which measured 580mm probably about 4 1/2 lbs. He also caught another nice fish going 560mm it was probably heavier than the first fish and in much better condition. I caught a few browns weighing approx 2 lb and a very large rainbow managed to smash me up. (see these fish in the Trout Gallery)

During the evenings there wasn't a lot of action, for some reason only accounting for a few small rainbows. In the coming few weeks with warmer weather we should have better rises of an evening.

In all, not a bad trip, we caught some nice fish and we know there are still a lot of good ones there.
