In today's episode, my brother joins me on another trip to Ellerdine Lakes to give you a few tips and tricks on winter fishing for trout.
We had a great day filming and all who journeyed with us caught well, with a few PB's caught along the way.
We hope you enjoy our content.
Tips to take away.
Tip number 1 get there early. Youll be the first fly they have seen in over 12 hours.
Tip number 2 keep mobile.
Tip number 3 vary your retrieve.
Tip number 4 avoid other anglers as too much pressure pushes the fish out and spooks them.
Tip number 5 fish a sink tip line if its flat calm. ( Even when it's not this is probably the best line you can use. )
Tip number 6 Check your hook if you are missing fish. You may have blunted it on a back cast or other issues like the bizarre situation I was faced with.
Tip number 7 fish alongside weed beds as trout hide in ambush and strike into food along these areas.
Tip number 8 if the takes dry up a change of flies can bring a few extra fish.
Tip number 9 don't overfish a spot
Tip number 10 cast to rising fish
Tip number 11 you can return to a hot spot later in the day providing it has been given a rest.

We would both like to dedicate our performance on the day and this video to our Nan who sadly was taken ill just before the filming of this episode and has since passed away.
