TOURING THE VHC - WATERFALLS - HUTS - TROUT FISHING

[@bobbyb9371]

Love that hut mate, 5 star no doubt about it. They've done a great job on the falls too. Trout? I was yelling at the TV hoping you'd hear me telling ya where you should stand and cast. Those Soft Plastics I sent ya would have worked if ya had them then. Stand up at the head of the rapids, cast into the fast water and guide the SP to the under cut bank. When the line starts to tighten, give the rod tip a slight wiggle and wait for the take. It will be violent so be ready. It's pretty much a fly tech I used to use called the Leisenring Lift that Gary Borger taught me back in the 80s. It will take a little practice, but once mastered it's deadly. There, the secrets out, only one of them anyway. The others...... I'll e-mail to ya. Great vid and stay well mate. Cheers as always, BobbyB.

Love this one too, the Timelapse is amazing and the look of your fire at camp is perfect, the hut and waterfall was perfect,bummer about that trout but honestly hang in there your going to hook a big fish soon 🎣🍻

[@happyguy61]

I watch a lot of camping vids and no one ever mentions going for a shit - except you! You’re the real deal mate!😂😂 We’re also all holding our collective breaths for the first fish you ever catch! Happy new year Gav! All the best mate and continued success with the channel👍

[@damo.77]

Another excellent vid Krusty, such a great area. Ive caught and released trout in that very section at the bridge at Wheelers creek hut and also at Ohagens where you pulled in, also snake central down there! Maybe next time try something a bit smaller like a strike tiger nymph soft plastic or something similar. Keep up the great work mate, really enjoy the stuff you do.

[@keithbagshaw3146]

Beautiful casting......still waiting mate!! Some great spots there!

[@MattWeddis]

I enjoyed this one even more than usual. I think it’s the last was a great mix of activities. Always well edited. Enjoy the break and I’ll look forward to the next episode in a couple of months.

[@aguyandhistroopy]

@@MattWeddis cheers Matt, it was a bit of a all sorts of a episode. Had planned on getting to Dargo and spending the night with some boys on motorbikes but I couldn’t fit it in the episode. 🤦🏽 Thanks for watching mate, appreciate the feedback.

[@rodgeorge7244]

That was very entertaining as always Gav ,I really like the huts and I have seen a few myself there is a Wheelers Hut in NSW as well it's in the Jagungal Wilderness area close to the Tooma River upstream from the Tooma Dam .It's beautiful up there but not easy to get to unless you hike in .As for the Thowgla and the Gibbo I've fished them both at different locations over the years and they always produced especially the Gibbo and Wheelers Creek as well.Keep up the good work mate love your vids .

[@wild13bt]

Great video mate. Happy new year, this is the year you catch the ever elusive high country trout 😂🤙 still waiting for that catch and cook video

[@aguyandhistroopy]

@@wild13bt thanks mate, I don’t think it will ever happen. It’s a good thing I’m not doing a catch and cook, I’d definitely starve !! 🤦🏽🤣 Think I need to start using worms, atleast that way I can drink more. 😂👍🏼

[@wild13bt]

@ the good old set and forget🤣🤣👌

[@raynewman4904]

Happy new year Gav, great episode.

[@Lee-astrololee]

Love the whole Benambra area, plenty of little camp spots all the way up to Nariel. It was such a shame to see it burnt out in 2019 so l can certainly appreciate the rebuilding efforts of the Vic Huts Assoc. A long time ago when Lake Omeo was always full, we use to explore all along the road to Colac Colac, we did not have capable vehicle to explore the steep tracks and only camped at flatter places such as Stacey's Bridge and Nariel Valley. I realise now there is so much more to see up there, thanks to your vids! I often regret not having purchased the 3 acre block at Nariel Creek back in the 80s as the valley has always held my interest...lol life hey, is always full of what ifs! 😂 The steep track descending to the main road l think is called six mile track, never attempted it in the Jimny in the 80s, lol but might have a go in the 100s next time. haha Thanks Gav, as always videos are informative, very scenic and always bring a chuckle when you do mad things like icy cold water baths! Haha l can feel the pain of those, no longer mad enough to get to wet in off season, although being half mad probably helps! 😂

[@HLsab]

Excellent vid Gav , I reckon if you wade upstream flicking your lure as you go you will catch a fish. Flicking scrub worms usually works mate , so maybe carry a few scrubbys with you. From Pinnabar head down to the Nariel Valley , there’s some excellent campsites along the creek and if you don’t catch a fish down there it might be time to towel the trout fishing 😂.

[@mickwatson2177]

I've got a mate that would catch a trout out of a puddle at camp, the rest of us really have to work for them. Don't give up it's a great way to see things you would normally miss. Cheers mate 👍🐕🤠

[@PittwaterMowingAustralia]

Nice one mate Beautifull country down there. You showcase it well. Maybe you and Molly could do a Waterfall calendar or something ?🤣

[@mspalding]

Another great entertaining video Gav . Maybe try a variety of lures , lures that replicate the surrounding insect etc…… above all don’t give up , keep at it . Really do enjoy the bush scenes and the wild life , did you notice the calls of the Fantail cuckoo in the background? 😉. I am not a prude but may I make a constructive comment- perhaps leave out the gastronomical comments. But please always keep up with your Gravel travels … top entertainment!!

[@alanjohnston243]

Crackin vid again mate, happy new year, keep at it mate 2025 might be your year to catch a fish 😂 some beautiful spots in the high country…..looking forward to the next one……safe travels 🍺🍺

[@Topmodd]

Cracking video mate...

[@braydenclark5828]

Another great 1 mate couple of awesome looking camps u stayed at .good too see ya traded in the weet bix for some bacon and eggs doesn’t get any better than that 👌

[@steve-deltasdad3906]

hahahhaha, Molly has the looks that's for sure but I think you got the style walk and wet look down pat😁🤣 Fishing hey.............they will be there 100% you just need to copy what they're feeding on which is where the fly guys have the advantage, check the nearest pub and you will most likely find someone that knows the game. great vid mate, love them all but this is one of your best IMHO - Cheers

[@4x4devgru]

Great trip Gav, Keep fishing mate it will happen one day. Cheers.

[@aguyandhistroopy]

@@4x4devgru I’m starting to doubt myself Mick. I think it’s time to give the lures-spinners away and start to use worms.🤷🏼‍♂️ Hope ya well mate, thanks for watching 👍🏼

[@michaelsheppard6486]

Great video Gav really enjoyed it. So did mum some great spots aren't they? I can't give you any help on the fishing mate. I'm hopeless as well I do know there's a little creek off the Jibo closer to benambra, it's the morass. Great little creek. I got a book from the general store there that was about Jimmy Lee, a cattle duffer. Great Reed. Hope the family's well. Look forward to the next one mate. Oh PS, it is the cattle hutz association which I'm guessing you already knew

[@kevindouglas793]

Another great video mate, more camp spots to put on the bucket list, we obviously went to the same school of fishing, I'll be asking for my money back shortly.

[@robertneedham8074]

Happy New Year

[@williamdaniels1539]

Fantastic mate nice spot and yea I'd like to see molly under the water fall top less. 😜

[@aguyandhistroopy]

@@williamdaniels1539 thanks mate, wasn’t I good enough for you topless? 🤦🏽🤣🤣🤣 That’s the best I can do for you, I don’t think she would stoop that low to come on my channel. Thanks for watching… appreciate the support.

[@doddy03gu79]

Man you must walk some extra klms setting up cameras, nice job. Every time I reckon a creek looks fishy, I get nothing, and those spots look prime to me. But I must remember never to camp down stream from you, I'd hate to bump into a floating brown trout. 😂😂👍

[@aguyandhistroopy]

@@doddy03gu79 yeah mate, knock up some k’s out there and it’s never on flat ground either. Be a bit harder in the VHC to do the old aqua turd, it’s a bit cold in the water at times. I reckon anytime after breakfast you’d be right, I’m like clockwork! 🤣. Thanks for taking the time to watch and drop a comment. Appreciate it Doddy. 👍🏼

[@mort8143]

Geezus you make me champ at the bit for some more driving adventures and bush camping. I'm stuck at home at the moment, but I can see my last years doing nothing but living out of my car and cruising the high country of SE Australia. Pop into towns for some fuel and tucker, then FO again into the scrub. Bacon 'n Bum nuts for brekky? No Weetbix available at the Wheeler's Hut General Store?🤣 I've read about some Jungle tribes using ropes of vines across rivers to enable a decent aqua-shit. A leg either side, a walk into the stream, a dump, and a walk back cleans the cheeks. Great idea. I'm sure if you do actually catch a fish one-day it'll cause a newsflash on the ABC, so I'll hear about it. 🤣 Always excellent viewing Krusty, thanks for all the hard work. 😀👍 Great to see you having a flirt with the dirt. There's no trouble in the rubble.

[@GlennPayne-z5x]

Another ripper....agree that water above the bridge looked perfect for a trout... maybe need a fly....there'd be fish in there alright...

[@rosemaryshepherdsmith5110]

Gav, your a bit of a character 😊

[@stanleyj.mitchell4851]

Nice video. If there are trout in a river they will jump. If you’re there at the right time and sit long enough. And for the record, if I had to live on the fish I caught I would be dead a long time ago

[@RobertAriss-n8u]

molly be laughing gav keep.it up 😅

[@tleej26]

Enjoyed watching, bugger about the fishing but I’m sure you’ll hook one soon🇳🇿

[@derekroper6297]

My luck with fishing is pretty much the same as yours short of dynamite 🧨 I’ll just go to the fish and chip shop 🤣

[@peterstone5356]

Hi Gavin, those rock walls were built by the old gold miners, mainly for water diversion or to run the sluice's

[@DailyGrindAus]

The gearbox noise might be because it's overheating with all the low range travel, especially when using engine breaking and gearing down. My Triton has a warning mmessage when the gearbox gets too hot. I am heading off on my own adventure, driving to Perth from Canberra. All blacktop but i will be finding some camps along the way.

[@nzmarkb8713]

Mate, if you didn’t catch any fish Then there mustn’t be any there😉 Love ya work mate 👍👍

[@mattbully2660]

Hey mate have you found any Celtic Salt yet? I mentioned it to you before. Something else that has been working for me is Shilajit! You can get it from Amazing Organics! Up to you if you want to try it i don't get anything out of telling you about it. All the best mate enjoy your content.

[@garthyguts]

the amount of walking you must do, setup the camera walk on then back to pick up camera and reset up

[@wolfyseas3793]

You were trout fishing ...you gotta start trout catching

[@JasondenHollander-qj5hp]

Trout would be I. That hole but apart from it being illegal to fish off a bridge the angle you are pulling that lure downstream would look bizarre

[@wasbruce]

Should have used your Molly shower pose in the thumbnail 😂

[@ronaldwhite5670]

Some will object but…..this is me. The start of you video has to be planned. Confusion, 😂lack of direction, lack of planning does not encourage me. Cheers 🍻

[@aguyandhistroopy]

@@ronaldwhite5670 all good Ronald, it was a transition from the previous 2 videos in the series. Don’t expect you to work it out if you just watched this one. Thanks for taking the time to comment… appreciate your feedback. 👍🏼

[@MrFastFarmer]

Parks don’t do shit except hand out fire safety pamphlets If you want to catch fish in that country you have to walk the river and hunt them, not expect they come to you.

[@kentitcume645]

I’m about to watch it. PLEASE tell me you caught a trout 😂 🎣. The suspense is killing me. Looking forward to the watch.

[@mort8143]

I reckon if I threw a package of fish and chips at Krusty he'd drop it. 🤣👍

[@kentitcume645]

Just finished watching it. Really enjoyable. There has to be trout where you were fishing. I reckon they must be scared of you. 😂

[@mort8143]

They're too busy laughing to eat. 🤣
