Well im down around the Tamworth area for a week and I wet a line at a few old spots since the rivers are running with some nice fresh and the dams are 100%.
Hit the McDonald river between Walcha and Bendemeer for trout and they are on the bite, I caught 1 on celtas and my brother lost a good size one around 40cm on a celta.
The today I hit Chaffey Dam at midday with spinnerbaits and had a nice cod around 70 cm follow my spinner in to the shallow water, but couldn't entice a strike.
I am guessing it was the heat of the midday that made then a bit sluggish on the attack, but pleasing to see anyway.
So I guess if anyone is around that way I think the fresh has picked up the fishing in the area like I have never seen before.
Early morning would be optimal and I reckon that most of the reason we didn't get a lot of strikes.
worth a go for sure, we were not that serious and still got some activity.
cheers
