Mastering Eucumbene Trout With Nick Reay

Join us in this episode of the Australian Lure Fishing podcast as we chat with expert angler Nick Reay about trout fishing in the pristine waters of Lake Eucumbene. Nick shares his top tips and techniques for using three key lure types: metals, soft plastics, and suspending jerkbaits. Metals: Nick explains how to effectively use metal lures, emphasizing the importance of varying depths and retrieval speeds.  Soft Plastics: Discover the versatility of soft plastics as Nick discusses casting into shallow waters during low light conditions and retrieving slowly to mimic natural prey. He touches on the use of a "donkey rig" for added effectiveness. Suspending Jerkbaits: Perfect for colder water or less active fish, suspending jerkbaits require a slow retrieve with pauses to imitate injured baitfish.  Seasonal factors and weather conditions play a crucial role in trout behavior, and Nick emphasizes adapting your techniques based on these variables. He also shares insights into the best tackle and gear. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or a beginner, this episode is packed with valuable information to help you succeed in Lake Eucumbene.
