Gday well this is my first trout and im stoked . OCT 4 2008 EBOR area,1 SAT,1 SUN.CHECK THE TAPE MEASURE LOL.
Cheers Rosco.
That trout went straight into the top 3 fish I have ever caught. I am guessing 10 to 12 pound. I had never fished for, let alone catch a trout before I went to Canada but loved every minute. And they are good chewing too. Got this one on a $25 Walmart rapala spinning combo and a 75c spoon also from Walmart (like a Big W if you have not heard of it).
I would encourage you to get over there if you can make it happen. I am not a fly fisherman as yet but it is on the to do list for sure. They have a great fishery there that is very well managed and there are literally 1000's of lakes, 1000's. If you or anyone else ever wants more info just let me know and I will be happy to share what I know.

Sorry guys i have forgoten the name of this trout but i think they are siebling spp ? trout ( If i find out i will correct the name if i am wrong ). I caught quite a few while on hols in Austria a couple of years ago. These where the size of most of my catch, pan size. These guys all got the cold smoke treatment. The biggest fish i caught would have gone close to 7lb but i was by myself with no camera near by and i wanted to get it back into the water quickly. He was a beautiful fish with the hump and hooked jaw, i wish i had my camera handy for that one. They were all caught on celtas and really crap gear that i borrowed over there.
look like brookeys.nice fish anyhow..cheers brett
Hey Brett
I havent caught a lot of trout but these were different to brooke trout i think. I have only caught one brookey years ago at jindi but. These are some sort of European one that they have in the lakes at Austria. They had bright blue and red pec fins and a red belly. I am more than likely wrong and they are brookeys but i remember brookeys having bigger and brighter spots. The spots on these where fairly dull when they came out of the water. My inlaws are going to be in Austria in a week or two visiting my wifes aunty so i will ask them to find out what they are called over there. Could well be the same fish with a different name.
