Cheers for the advice guys, appreciate it! I'm gunna stock up in the next few days and try to get out next week, weather depending.

G'day guys, As of Monday, I'm lucky enough to have scored 2 weeks annual leave, and I'm determined to crack my trout doughnut. Up to now, I've never cracked a trout outside a trout farm, and this needs to change. I'm planning to do a couple of daytrips from Sydney, so I'm basically looking at the Blue Mountains/Lithgow areas, but am happy to travel anywhere doable in a day. I don't care what size, I don't care if it's smaller than the lure, I am just determined to snag a trout. I've got a 1-3kg spin setup with 2500 stella, and a 6/7wt 8'6" fly rod, so I've got the gear, just no idea. I guess the options are, as I see them: - Fish River at Tarana. No idea as I've never seen this river, if anyone could give any lure or style or location advice that'd be great. - Cox's at Duddawarra. I've fished here a couple of times for naught, happy to hear advice as it's a great spot. - River Lett at Hartley. Never fished here but apparently it's accessible through Hartley reserve? Worth a look? - Lake Lyell. Have fished here once but had no idea, so any advice would be great. Have heard the northern end is the best? - TCD. Probably not an ideal newbie location, but I'd be happy to give it a crack. - Lake Wallace. No idea here at all. I've also got roughly $100 for lures and flies, so if anyone could give any advice on location, methods, lures, flies, anything to crack this drought I'd be more than greatful! Cheers guys!
