Headlines: Fishing reports have been good again this week. The lakes have provided the most reports and Eucumbene has produced yet again with some excellent baitfishing with ,worms,Grubs and the fly fishing has been outstanding. Jindabyne has also fired over the weekend with some great trolling
Flyfishing
Rivers:- most spawning rivers are fishing well with good numbers of Browns running up the Eucumbene and Thredbo with many reports of fisherman catching fish up to 8lb plus.
we had a good reports of fisherman using two Nymphs and picking up some good fish. Nymphs will really come into their own over the next few weeks in the lower and higher reaches of the Thredbo and Eucumbene. Black and Brown Nymphs are the pick of the flies. now the spawn run has started there will be plenty of people about so give everyone plenty off room on the river and Enjoy your day out. Remember from the first of may you are only allowed One fish over 50cm in the main spawning Streams. So if any one does get a good Brown send us a photo to
Best areas to fish are all over the Eucumbene River and the Thredbo up past the hatchery and around paddys corner best Rig is a Glow Bug with a Nymph Below if you find the fish are a little spooky two Nymphs will work well.
Remember the weather can change quick so take warm clothing and let someone now where your going best been safe then sorry.
The high country rivers have really fished well this season with most fish taking . adams parachute, yellow stimulators , royal humpies , royal wulfs , elk hair caddis , red tags , adams , klinkhammers.
most of the smaller steams will start getting harder to fish in the next few weeks with the colder weather moving in so get out there why you can and enjoy them why you can.
Hey guys, had a cracking day on the Euc last Saturday. Caught a dozen or so between 2-3lbs on nymphs and globugs including these two beauties both taken on dark nymphs. Brown was 6lbs and rainbow 4.25lbs in the weigh net before release.
Cheers,

Lake Eucumbene:- Some very nice rainbows and Browns coming in over the last few weeks.Many people are fishing around midday and getting good results Many of these fish are taking Mrs Simpsons, Hammills Killers,B/H Nymphs black, brown, Green. lf your finding it hard to get the fish when you see them rolling around in the water this would be a good time to put a Klinkhammer on you will get good results. The rainbows seem to come in feeding close all day.The rising lake levels have really got the fish feeding so if your going fishing on the Lake this is the time to be there around 10am till dark.The Rainbows are getting fat and feeding on any thing they can get Grasshoppers, Mudeyes, snails, Midge,most reports are coming in fisherman are catching them around 10am to 7pm. if you have a Boat get out there into the windlanes you will be suprised how many fish you will pick up. Good news is the browns have been moving around as well with good repors around Yens, seven Gates, Rushys most been court on woolly buggers black, brown, olive
Best flys are woolly worms, woolly buggers, B/H black Nymphs black, brown, Green, Mrs Simpsons, Klinkhammers
Best areas to fish are Rushys, seven gates, Yens,
Remember the fish have been feeding all day so get out there and have a good day my best tip is on the lake with a Klinkhammer or Mrs Simpson the Browns and Rainbows are going mad, there fat and hitting hard. more good reports are coming from around Rushys and seven gates using black woolly bugger, black Nymphs with a very slow retrieve. Most fish are still rolling around on top off the water so when you see this the best fly to use is a Klinkhammer Olive we have been getting good Results.

believe it or not these to are twin brothers or is the bottom one his sister I'm really not sure. pic Below

Hi guys,
I bank fished the Providence Arm on Saturday evening. Within the first ten minutes, I landed a pan size rainbow on a yellow berkley salmon egg but then nothing for most of the evening. A couple of guys who also fished the same stretch of bank caught six pan sized rainbows on chunky cheese power bait. I eventually landed a 1.08 kg rainbow on lime twist power bait just before 11 pm.

What a great weekend at Buckenderra we had 3 fishing clubs in and the majority went away very happy. Reports for trolling that most caught were in very good condition. Lofty’s 100 yellow wings were the stand out lure followed by anything green & gold with yellow wings and cd7 rapala in brown trout and rainbow colour. The largest brown weighed in at 3.1kg clean and the rainbow was 1.2kg
Warren caught a nice rainbow on a Tassie Devil green bumble bee no33 it weighed 1.93kg at 52cm in length and in excellent condition.
On the bank the orange powerbait and chunky cheese were doing very well there were browns caught again with orange pulp and up to 1kg rainbows, we have had good reports all weekend here at Buckenderra.
Fly fisherman have said that there are plenty of fish about with a lot of midges on top of the water but it has been hard work catching them they were using small midge patterns with red tips.
I have attached a few shots of the weekend...happy fishing everyone hope to see you soon. pic Blow

Eucumbene:- Reports from the lake have been ok.Launching access is available at Old Adaminaby, Anglers Reach, Dam Wall and Buckenderra .

Mostly flatline tassies and small minnows. There are fish in close and on top early in the day but as the sun gets up going wider and deeper is the best bet.
