Nope, not tha I or a guy who sounded confident at glo bugging could determine. ASccording to Brian the owner they donýt anymore because the river is too turbid (something to do with dam releases and city folk) but I suspect that's not necessarily true. I've caught trout in dirtier water, but not that weekend.

Going back about 15 years they use to run up the river in their thousands, just caught the end of it and have not been back for ten years. Probably got more to do with the extended drought. Muddy water will not stop them from running unless it is polluted, but rainbows don't usually feed in dirty water, no problem for browns though

I have been told that the trout can't get out of Waragamba dam to run up the Wollondilly until the dam is around 75% full, so it could be some time before the trout are back in any great numbers.

Must be a waterfall on the river below this level?

LOL your not the first one to make that mistake. Cast to what I thought was a good fish one night at Oberon Dam, hooked it was having a hell of a battle. Had to be a 10lb brown untill it took off up the bank on the oppisite side of the bay. Bloody big water rat lol. I let him keep the fly.
Another night I foul hooked a black duck, all very amusing untill it nearly spooled me. Had to chase it for the best part of a K so as not to lose my flyline. Nearly landed it when it gave one last flap and broke the leader. lol

Ah thats like the stupid Albatross that took a live bait one day, while fishing deep sea, then took off like a jumbo into the heavens! That took some fun and luaghter bringing him back down to the boat to safely release him.

Yes, well, time to fess up to being another who spent quite some time one afternoon casting to a platypus.

I'll bet the bugger still has some type of smug duck billed grin,

Hi Pete,

Can't say I've noticed any problem with the LSD in my Jack mate.
My 98's done 120,000k's so far and is an auto.

Mate I am not sure if it is working as it is ment to, or someone in the past has put the wrong oil in and killed it. Apart from that I love it, more fuel efficent than I though.
Cheers Pete
