What is with all the bloody rain ruining my fishing expeditions!!!!!
Spending christmas at the in-laws and saw it as a great opportunity to fish Wyangla, because up until recently it had apparantly been fishing its socks off! Just my luck that all the rain they had in the region has pushed the water level up from something like 40% to a massive 90% in a matter of weeks! So upon arrival at the dam I was greeted with what looked very similar to chocolate milk... only darker!!! It was bloody terrible, visability was maybe 3-5cm, even with my new spotters I was unable to see anything.
I put in at about 4.30pm and started trolling around to a little bay(well it used to be little) where I lost a good golden last time I was here. As with most of the dams in NSW that have filled quickly over the past 6 months trolling in a good depth is very difficult. This is due to the trees that have grown while the levels have been low over the past 10 years and are now covered in water. I couldn't get in to the 3-6m depth that I like to troll, so I gave up on the troll after an hour or so and peddled around to the little bay. Which looked very fishy... except for the water clarity. Pounded a heap of casts in and around the rocky banks and didnt get a touch. I tried a few different coloured spinnerbaits and a variety of hardbodies, but nothing would illicit a strike.
A dissapointing afternoon! Wyangla is such a good looking dam and I can see why it was fishing so well before all the rain! Hopefully a miracle will occur and the water will clear up within the next few days and I'll be able to get back out there.
Photos to come!
