HEADLINES


We are getting a lot of feed back from the Seven Gates area about fires and rubbish left all over the place.
Please be mindful to take your rubbish with you and clean up after yourself.

 
Please be sure to carry your PFD & fishing licences as NSW Maritimes are out. Nsw fisheries inspectors are working the Snowy Mountains area during the peak holiday season. So remember if you do not have a current fishing licence and on your person you will be fined. So for the sake of 5 minutes do yourself a favour.

Maritime services are on the lakes, So make sure you water craft are up to par with current safety standards, if you are not sure contact Ph 13 12 56 or website:
www.maritime.nsw.gov.au

Fly Fishing

 
 
Euc Rivers:-
most off the rainbows have moved back down to the Lake but you will fined them in patches up the river so take your time and have a good look. Most fishermen are finding them in the deeper holes below the runs with the warmer weather moving in you will find fish starting to move up to the top this would be a good time to start using a few Dry flies though the day B/H Nymphs with a indicator will work well.

Thredbo River:- has been very slow so if you wonder up that way do much the same as you would in the Euc River

         


 


 
Lake Eucumbene:-   he lake produced a few fish for some anglers but getting deep was essential from the reports received.  There are heaps of stick caddis and snail moving out with the dropping water and if we can manage some cooler water temps the fish will be onto these quickly. 
Mudeyes have been hatching in numbers recently but not many fish have been on them due to the water temp.  This is bound to change shortly and then the fishing will be excellent again.  There are plenty of fat rainbows in the lake and when these fish turn onto the mudeyes there will be some fantastic evening fishing.  Could even be better than last year.

   

"jindy is fishing very well worth a look"
Lake Jindabyne:-  Jindabyne reports have continued to improve with some great polaroiding.  The fishing can still be hard but you may be able to get enough shots that you find a fish that eats.  Weather may play a big role too in how hungry and active the fish are.  The main thing is they are there.
The lake is now going down but the fishing is still good with many fish are close to the shore with good numbers off browns taking woolly Buggers black,brown, and olive, B/H Nymphs are going well but let them drop for about 15 seconds.
 

Lake Tantangara :- No Reports

Baitfishing
 
Eucumbene
 
YES WE WILL HAVE MUDEYES FOR THIS WEEKEND SO BE QUICK

Bait fishing has been fairly good with some nice reports of rainbows and Browns being taken on power bait and Srcub Worms..Buckenderra has been the best area to fish with good size brown taking worms with rainbows on the power bait

Best places to try in Eucumbene continue to be Seven Gates, Buckenderra, and the Dam wall. 


hi here is my 2.4 kg brown trout caught at the cobbity fishing comp a few weeks back at buckenderra caught him on scrub worms.
Cheers Adam                                                                                                  
                                    


Three of us fished the Yens bay area during the above dates, though fishing was slow we did manage three browns with the best being 2.35kg, also a number of well-conditioned rainbows, all fish were taken on worms as all power bait was refused, my mate Martin, only a third time fisho caught his first brown 1.75kg so he was wrapped. We also had a purist with us, totally dedicated fly boy who in the end took up bait as the fly was hard work in the windy conditions.
 
One very interesting rainbow was caught as it was full of ripe row ready for spawning, at first we thought this is a really fat fish. As for the rivers we flogged the Eucambean  all the way to Kiandra, then the Murrumbidgee near Tantangara and could not sight a single fish,
 
Best Regards

                 

Jindabyne
 
Jindabyne has produced a few fish too over the weekend with worms being the dominating bait. Winter is a great time for chasing rainbows on power bait and though it is cold, these fish will give many anglers a heap of fun and food over the next couple of months. Best areas are poo bay, clay pitts, snowline park

           
BEST LURES IN BOTH LAKES ARE STRIKE PRO BLADES

Trolling and Spinning
Eucumbene
Eucumbene trolling reports have been good with some nice rainbows showing up in many areas and a few browns too. The browns are not all in great condition but the rainbow quality have made up for this for many.
Middilingbank has been good this past week and the bays around seven gates area continues to fish well.
Most Lures are Working Well Tassies s12,Y05, Y82,99,103,Y90,97,105 Minnows, Blades, Rapalas, sting lures are working well

 

 

 

 




Jindabyne
Jindabyne has produced few reports this week. There are still some good fish to be caught in Jindabyne but early starts are the key to catching them especially when the weather is super calm. Some nice fish taken trolling around the outside of the weed beds in many of the bays. Best areas to fish around, Poo bay down below the Jindabyne club, snowline caravan Park Kalkite and wast point. things have been a little slow so your lure selection is important. Blade lures would do well on the big browns as will the rainbow Rapala X-Raps and Jointed minnows are working as well. Still good reports of good fish have been court around the snowy arm and Kalkite. Reports that east Jindabyne is fishing very well.
best lures by fare are the strike pro Blades
