Rubicon River Gold

Fished the Rubicon River on Sunday 2nd of November. The plan was to fish the Goulburn, but decided to drive past it as it was near impossible to even get a car park at Gilmoure's bridge. As it turned out it was the right move. I parked at the picnic area just outside Thornton on the Rubicon, and fished some great looking water just above the bridge with initially very little success. As there was no surface activity, I fished two small nymphs with an indicator about a meter above. An hour into the session persistence paid off. My indicator raced towards the far bank and with a quick lift of the rod I was in a battle with a Ruby resident. It was a beautiful brown trout of about a pound. Next two runs produced similar results with two more fish landed, all taking my pheasant tail nymph. Decided to call it quits quite early due to some work needed to be done at home, but nonetheless a great little session on a great little river.
