THREDBO RIVER

Thredbo river is still running well after last weeks rain and things have Improved.

Most fish are taking the Nymphs in the running waters with the dry’s doing there work in the still waters.

Now the rainbows have finished running up stream this is the time to start looking for the browns with all this good weather and the insects are starting to get about you should see more and more browns out hunting around.

Best places to try are

The Diggings, ski tube, Thredbo Village, don’t forget the little Thredbo river.  

 

 

EUCUMBENE RIVER 

Eucumbene river is running well from top to bottom most off the fishing has been doing well up high around Kiandra and sawyers.

Fishermen are coming in saying the fishing down the bottom end off the river has been no good telling us they have been looking for fish all day not one to be seen others have been casting in the runs not looking for fish and there doing well

so it sound like you should be doing more casting then looking hope that helps ?

Hey mick and ray, caught this brown at Buckenderra on a black nymph early evening and lost one on the Corduliid. thanks tory. 
                                                                                                             


 

TANTANGARA

Reports were ok with rainbows and brown moving up and down most parts off the river well worth a look this weekend after all that rain.

All other rivers around the snowy mountains are fishing well so now the weather is getting better it’s time to start looking.

Don’t forget the Monaro rivers are all running well and they all should have fish so it’s time to get out there.

 

 

FLY FISHING LAKE EUCUMBENE & JINDABYNE

Lake Eucumbene reports have been up and down with the fly fishing remember it’s only early yet and things will change once the mudeyes start we should start seeing more rainbows about.

good reports have been coming around Middlingbank, Rushes, frying pan as I said before this is the time to start using them Nymphs go small size 14,16,18 black, brown seem to be the best.

 

Best places are Buckenderra, Middlingbank, Rushes, seven gates

Best wet flies are small Nymphs, Woolly buggers,

Lake Jindabyne things are looking good over on the west side off the lake there has been plenty off browns in close and out wide polaroiding around the lake has been great with good results coming in remember early mornings are the best.

Still getting good reports on rainbows in the lake big and small. Things are early yet and the best is yet to happen once we get more insects and mudeyes moving around Jindy will be good this year. 

 

 

 

 

 

The winner is judged on the best five fish for each angler, with 10 fish allowed to be weighed in over the three days per angler. This year’s competition winner was Belinda Gallo with five fish weighed in for a total of 8220 grams. This was Belinda’s first time in the competition and she smashed the competition record.

The junior section was hotly contested and the winner was Jake Watson with five fish weighed in at 4899 grams which was fifth place overall which was a great result.

The weather was great over the weekend following a very cold southerly change earlier in the week. Nearly all the fish were caught by trolling with a wide range of lures working and the bait fisherman had little luck but did pick up some big browns on scrub worms.

This year’s event raised well over $12000 for R.P.A Haematology Unit, Sydney for research and patient care. The event is held every October at Buckenderra Holiday Village. The generosity from the fishing and boating industry is overwhelming.

BAIT FISHING

Bait fishing Eucumbene has been really good in places Seven gates, Rushes, middlingbank all on worms not many fish have been taking the Power bait at the moment but if the rainbow do come on things will change yes they will come on soon there has been some good reports off rainbows moving around out wide and some have been close with some lucky fishermen getting them. Overall the bait fishing has been good but remember only down at the bottom end off the lake only.

Good reports from the locals up at Tantangara with the bait fishing again all on worms good reports off rainbows and browns but the rainbows would not touch the power bait?

Over at Jindabyne things have been ok on the power bait and worms the best thing about jindy is the rainbows are nice and fat and the browns are full off yabbies and there on the bite.

Overall the bait fishing is good on all lakes.
