Yesterday I headed to Kyneton for a redfin session and it seems the cool weather this week has had a positive effect on the fishing with the smaller models shutting down completely and the larger fish going into attack mode to fatten up for the winter. I spent just on an hour and a half fishing the river and caught about 14 fish with another 6 or so nice fish lost near the bank. The first fish was hooked on a squidgy but the water was a little dirty and I thought some brighter lures might do better so I tried a small darting minnow I have had for a while and never had success with, and boy it worked. I worked several sections of the pool for 45 minutes and caught maybe 10 fish on it mostly near the edge as the lure was only shallow running to 3 foot, most fish were over 30cm. When the bite slowed I tried some deeper running models and changed to a brighter colour and managed a few more fish but not as consistently.
