FLY FISHING 

The Easter long weekend was a little up and down in places but overall the fishing was good. Providence was the place to be for most fishers with some really good results with fish coming in over the 10lb mark.

Most fly fishers have been doing well on the larger flies ( Muddlers, woolly buggers, Mrs Simpsons) late in the afternoons with most fish being Browns.

Good reports coming from Yens bay Seven gates, Anglers Reach and Providence.

In the last 24 Hours we have had over an inch off rain and still falling all rivers are up and running well with reports off fish starting to run up the Eucumbene and Thredbo river.

Things are starting to happen on both rivers now yes it sounds a little early but with all this rain and cold weather it’s looking good.

Most reports on the river at Eucumbene are down at the mouth with browns around the 2lb mark and on the Thredbo river reports have been good with the browns going up passed the hatchery.

This is a good time to start with two Nymphs and as the weeks go on  the glow bug and Nymphs will best the best flies overall.

Best areas on lake Eucumbene are Providence, Anglers Reach, Old Adaminaby, and it’s worth a look up the river things are starting to look good.

Over at Jindabyne the lake has been quiet with not many reports coming in but after all that rain i would be heading to the western side off the lake look for all the gully’s there has been plenty of food washing in try the larger wet flies you should have some luck.

The Thredbo river is running and the fish are starting to run not in big numbers yet but it’s starting. So like Eucumbene try two Nymphs remember you must get to the bottom to have any luck.


 
OVER 4KG  NICE BROWN

Howdy Mick and Ray,
Good to catch up on the way to Eucumbene and beyond and thanks for the advice...
Here are a couple of photos, we didn't catch a lot of fish, but all were really fit and went well!!
We had some great mud eye and Caddis hatches on the Frying Pan Arm, mainly rainbows and they were hitting really hard. We mainly used black muddlers and green hi vis mudeyes with success. Also had some good fishing on the river with Thredbo Special...

See you again soon,

Cheers Peter and Mark

     
 

              

 

TROLLING LAKE JINDABYNE Early mornings have been good as well late in the afternoons like your bait fishing the trolling is all good over on the western side off the lake.

Most fishers have been trolling Tassie’s and getting good results with rainbows and browns, Up around waste point Rapalas and Blade lure is working the best.

Down at the snow liner, Celtas, Rapalas and Tassie devils are working and down towards the dam wall Strike pro blades and flat fish are working well. overall Jindabyne is fishing well now with good reports coming in with all this rain and wind it’s turning the water on the lake and the fish are starting to feed at the moment it’s worth a look.

EUCUMBENE TROLLING

Trolling is picking up on the lake with some good results coming from Braemer bay, Buckenderra and Wainui bay then work your way up.

Most fishers have been doing it tuff over the last few weeks but this week has been picking up with good results on Tassie’s,flat fish and minnows.

Most Caught fish have been rainbows out in the deeper waters on Minnows and the browns in close on Tassie’s, best time have been early mornings from 6 to 9 a.m from then move out to the deeper waters.

If you have a small  motor try the flat fish nice and slow the browns have been smashing them.

 

 

LAKE EUCUMBENE BAIT FISHING

Bait fishing is going really well with good reports coming from Buckenderra, Middling bank, Seven gates, Rushes and the dam wall.

Mud eye's are still going well but are getting hard to get but do not forget about the grubs and power bait good reports have been coming in all week grubs have been the pick off the baits around buckenderra and middling bank.

Over at Seven gates the worms and grubs have been good and around at frying pan power bait and worms have been good on the rainbows.

At the moment the worms, grubs, power bait is the pick off all baits for the rainbows and the mud eye’s are still picking up good browns, Let's hope we can have some mud eye’s for Easter??

Hi Alpine Angler, we came through on Friday and bought some mudeyes on our
way to Breamar.
There were only about 5 boats all up and people were getting between 1 & 2
fish per boat on tassies & mudeyes.
I managed to get this hen on a gold wing Tassie estimated at 3 lb, measured
45 cm.
I just love "Lakers" around this size and will be back when I've upgraded my
sleeping bag.
Regards,
Harry Southwell.
