ALL RIVERS ARE FISHING WELL

EUCUMBENE RIVER, Still running well and most off all still fishing well the rainbows are still running up and in good numbers best reports are coming from the tree line down to the lake. Best flies are two nymphs with split shot early mornings glow bugs and Nymphs. What can i say get up there before it’s to late  Most other rivers are fishing well so start looking around at the rivers you have not fished for sometime.   Most Monaro rivers are fishing well so if you need to Improve you're casting skills get on the rivers you will be surprised.

 

THREDBO RIVER, The Thredbo has been a little quiet but as you get closer to the lake things will Improve the rainbows are in the deeper holes and still taking Nymphs. Up higher on the river fishing in the afternoons are picking up with some good insect hatches. Remember the Thredbo is not the only river around try looking at other rivers. Overall things are looking up.

 

 


 

FLYFISHING JINABYNE FLY, AFTERNOONS ARE ON FIRE

Fishing around the lake has been good with good reports coming in from most areas on the lake. With the weather warming up fishing has Improved with the rainbows and browns.

In the last month fishing has been at it’s best with good reports off all fish browns, rainbows, brooks, salmon. Most fishers have been using woolly buggers and Nymphs with good results.

Fishing over on the western side off the lake has been the best area to go with plenty off food washing into the lake and the fish are coming in a lot closer so don’t go looking for them get the flies out and start bring them back in slowly if you're using bead heads let them drop the retrieve.

Howdy Michael,

 

Peter from Braemar with an update on the fantastic fishing at and around Braemar this week, conditions have been challenging at times but the results have been great, generally the trolling was tough, some boats struggled for a result and some boats had no luck at all, but by mid week that had all changed with great fishing and some excellent fish showed up with the cooler and cloudy conditions. The baitfishing slowed down a little as well, most days were slow and then all of a sudden fish were everywhere, the fly fishing  can best be described as pot luck right now, late afternoon proving to be a bit better than daytime, anyway call into the shop at Braemar for all the latest updates on what lures fly and baitfishing have been getting the fish, Braemar is private property and permission should be otained before entering the Park, we welcome visitors, again call in at the shop, buy a drink or a lure or 2 and off you go.

 

Results like these dont come by very often, magnificent fish were the order early this week, Joe and Helga Alexander combined brilliantly to land this 5.033kg monster Brown after a day out trolling,  thats over 11 pounds in the old measurement, after 40 years of fishing Eucumbene Joe finally got the double figure fish he was after, his previous bests were around the 5lb mark, well done Joe.

 

Ron Clark from Berimah managed a lovely 2.986kg Brown also pictured and Neil Pearson managed a 2.580kg Brown as well, there is also an unconfirmed report of a 4.100kg Brown caught just near the Park at the weekend, the big fish are roaming around Braemar way it seems, a huge Brown was spotted cruising the edges on one of my trips to the Lake this morning, the rising water and plentiful food has certainly got the fish actively feeding it seems.

TROLLING TANTANGARA
Trolling has been really good with good reports coming in from top to bottom good reports off rainbows and browns with the lake dropping now things might change well that’s what i thought would happen but with the reports coming in things are still going well the rainbows and browns are still taking the lures. But remember when travelling up that way watch the weather and the snow reports thing can get really bad up that way. But overall the fishing is good.
