G’Day Michael,
 
Peter from Braemar here with an updated fishing report for the week December 17th, well the fishing improved a bit during the past week which was good news for most anglers with bait once again outdoing all other forms, mudeyes have been taken readily by fish at all times of the day and night, the trusty bubble float rig has worked wonders as has casting the mudeye from a fly rod and working it back to shore or the boat, there was a mini hatch of mudeyes once again on Monday night so that has really set up the week and beyond for the fish as they search for mudeyes.
 
Young Sarah Reynoldson from Melbourne caught a beautiful Brown close to 1.5kg and another 2 rainbows about the 800 gms mark using mudeyes under a bubble float when she went fishing with her Dad Wednesday night, Sarah was a bit shy to have her photo taken but well done by outdoing your Dad on this occasion.
 
The Victorians have once again been doing well here at Braemar with Neil Stabb and Warren Davison catching good fish on their outings with local guru Peter Giles, George Smithwick hadn’t bothered got onto the scoreboard at the time of this update but his enthusiasm alone certainly deserved a result.
 
Colin Hall caught a nice Brown one morning using a nymph but once again his efforts were not truly rewarded as with Neil Houlihan who managed the odd fish on Mrs Simpson Hammils Killer and the trusty Red Tag, Steven Fiske also a managed a nice Brown around the 3kg mark apparently so it could be that the fly fishing is starting to get back to where it should be for this time of the year.
 
The trolling improved slightly early in the week with Tassie #’s Y 62 and Y 82 catching quite a few rainbows and 112 catching the Browns, it seems the brighter colours are working best right now trolled in about 5 to 6 meters of water and the #109  proved to be the best darker coloured lure accounting for a few fish early mornings.
 
Chunky Cheese appears to be the preferred power bait right now accounting for quite a few smaller rainbows, but again, mudeyes are the bait to have right now it seems, so call in and get your mudeyes from Mick at The Alpine Angler on your way through.
 
Pictured below is Warren Davison with his 2604 gms Brown and Neil Stabb with his 1882 gms Brown both caught on mudeyes at the front of the Park.
