Check list – lake loch style fishing for trout

 

For those many years that I lived in the Snowy Mountains region of NSW loch style fishing for trout was absolute favourite fishing preference. This is my check list of items I take on every trip when targeting trout on fly from boat.

 

 

GRAB BAG:

ESKY:

My "lunch box type" small esky has has an insulated inside area as well as a zippered pocket on the outside.

 

PERSONAL FLOTATION DEVISE (PFD)

I have a few PFD's and personally service each one of them each year. This is the one I prefer to wear.

 

RODS & REELS


I generally have at least two fly rod and reel combos on hand so that I have a back up, but when fishing on my own boat, I take 3 combos and have each of them set up with different fly from the selection below ... you never know what's going to work on the day.
