SOLID MOORABOOL RESERVOIR RAINBOW. July 2024

Hi All. In this video I'm fishing Moorabool Reservoir and land a solid Rainbow trout. I'm using a 6wt Fast action Fly Rod, 6wt Intermediate sinking fly line (3 - 4inches per minute sink rate), 2X Leader and 2X tippet. My point fly is the Olive damsel fly and I also have a White damsel (smelt) fly about 50cm up from the point fly. I fished the reeded areas of the lake and eventually had a take. I also tried Hepburn Lagoon earlier, but had no success there. So moved on to Moorabool Res. Both these flies are tied in an earlier video of mine, if you want to tie them. Hope you enjoy the video. Cheers Kraza.

Great vid as usual and a soild rainbow. Been doing well out of there on bait, cant get a hit on fly other than a few reddies. Had 5th trip to bullen merri last thur, finally fired up. Landed 3 tigers, 3 rainbows, dropped 2, and about 6 other hits all on fly. Like to see you do trip down there whe its hot.
Keep up the great vids. Cheers
Bass.

Thanks for the encouraging comment Bass. Would really like to get to Bullen Merri one day. Would need to be for a couple of days though. Sounds like you had a cracker day there. Well done. Cheers, Kraza.

Hey Kraza, hope you are doing well mate, been a while since we last fished together :)

[@FlyFishingwithKraza.-to4lf]

Hi Dusan. Nice to here from you. I think I have your number on my phone. I'll give you a call or text soon. Would be good to catch up and maybe even go fly fishing together. Cheers.

Nice sized rainbow Kraza , released or going in the smoker ?😉

[@FlyFishingwithKraza.-to4lf]

Thanks. This one was destined for the smoker.

Lovely fish but I’d be careful wading there (pretty sure you were) the rangers are red hot at Moorabool. Hate you to have a good day spoiled. Anyway, looking forward to your next video.

[@FlyFishingwithKraza.-to4lf]

Thanks for the tip. I've seen them remove people from the dam wall, while I was wading once before. They did not approach me at the time. Maybe it depends on the Ranger🤷‍♂. Cheers Kraza.

Enjoyed the video as always, cheers Kraza
