Lake Hume Report

[Dave McKenna]

Gday all
after a dissappointing trout season for the Lake http://sweetwaterfishing.com.au/Chat/Templates/Forum/default/angry.gifthe weather has finally started to warm up and so have the yellowbelly.With the lake at 28.5% capacity and holding the yellas have come on the chew,mornings seem to the best as the day progresses so does the wind which not only makes it uncomfortable to fish it seems to shut them down.So far this month I have managed a fish or two every outing with a 6lb yella being the biggest,I have heard some anglers getting up to 6 to 8 fish a session and there have been some thumpers with the biggest reportly 18lber and a 16lber on the same day,also a bycatch of a few cod with the biggest being a solid 18kg.The redfin have been a bit slow but they should fire soon as the weather warms even more.Currently the surface temp gets up to 18gegC and clarity is very good http://sweetwaterfishing.com.au/Chat/Templates/Forum/default/cool.gifSo hopefully when the Yamaha Lake Hume Classic is run on the 10th &11th all the fish will be in full biting mode and all who attend will have a fantastic time.for more details check out the web site at www.lakehumeclassic.com.au (http://sweetwaterfishing.com.au/Chat/YaBB.pl?action=dereferer;url=http://www.lakehumeclassic.com.au)

WoW they are big yellers! Never seen one that big, seen a lot though but not too many from impoundments. Geese they are thumpers! Could biodiesel half a tank from just one of them!!;D

Thanks for the report.

cheers fnq

Well another week closer to the hume classic and after a inch and a halve of rain and a few thunder storms the yellas are still going off.The weekend just gone I managed to get 4 nice yellas in the net and they were duly photograghed(pics on the website at www.lakehumeclassic.com.au (http://www.lakehumeclassic.com.au) ) and returned I also managed to get 6 more to the back of the boat but they escaped,two of which were well into double figures that straightened the hooks.I witnessed many fish being caught and I cannot remember the last time we had fishing like this.I just hope that all those fishos out there remember to limit there catch and not catch there limit.Hope they stay on the chew as it is only a 11 days away to the classic,as for water levels we are at 27.8% so no need to worry about water level
see you there Dave;D
