A few nice redfin
Hi all,
Got away with the family a couple of weeks ago and stayed in Bridgetown. Had a limited window to do a spot of fishing, so took a cruise into the Nannup general area for a bit of a flick. Walking one of the banks, I found a likely looking hole in among the snags. First cast had about half a dozen good size fish provide a follow and within 10 mins had pulled a feed out. Unfortunately, had to leave it for next time, despite knowing there are plenty of trout not far from where I was....next time.
These were a pretty good feed, cooked with butter, garlic, salt & pepper on the BBQ (wrapped in al foil). Very tasty, surprised me how good they were to eat with a great texture.
Second pic - roe out of the female (top fish)....and the stomach contents of the biggest male - gives you an idea how damaging these fish can be to our environment.
Thanks to those who provided some advice. These were caught on a red 'McFly' (HB).
Cheers
Buschy

Can't believe you need a
Can't believe you need a license to catch them . Their good eating is why they were released in our rivers in the first place.

+1 absolute madness a licence is required
a fisheries person rang for a survey three years ago. I caomplained about the licence requirement to catch Redfin. A number of illogical excuses were put forward by the fisheries person. The situation annoys me, and the cost of freshwater licence to fish for Reddies once a year is just silly.
