September outing for the ESFC saw three members set off with a 5am start heading over the mountains to Thompsons Creek Dam at Lithgow.
Having a short stop for coffee and fuel, arrived at the dam, to be greeted by a beautiful crisp morning and frost covered ground.
As always at this location, several large trout were seen cruising the shallows, but seemed oblivious to the endless array of soft plastics and hard body lures cast at them.
After many hours of frustration, a small brown/green Tassie devil started to get some attention, and a lively 20cm rainbow was caught on the drop of a long cast.
Soon after in the same area a larger 38cm rainbow was hooked and landed, a PB trout for Grant. The same lure worked again with another rainbow of similar size hooked but lost in the shallows.
With several more sightings, and endless casts for no reward, the three members decided to call it a day and head home, all agreeing that a good day was had by all even if the fish won again.
