Rivers:-

 

     

Most rivers are fishing well water levels are good in most rivers.

The Thredbo river has been fishing well above the hatchery in the afternoon best flies

Are Klinkhammers, adams parachutes, red tags, royal wulff, B/H Nymphs black and brown.

The key is to fish at the right time off day mornings and afternoon you will have a better time.

The Eucumbene river is still flowing good but the fishing has been hard again fish late in the afternoon not In the middle of the day most of the fishing has been alright up higher around Kiandra and down into the gorge.

Best fly’s are red tags, Klinkhammers, B/H Nymphs, stimulators, Hardy’s favourite.

Remember go fishing at the right time and you will have a better time.

                           LOCAL DAMS

            Eucumbene, Tantangara, Guthega, three mile 

     

Reports have been getting better on Eucumbene with most of the fishing down the lower end of the lake

Best fishing is around Rushy’s bay seven gates and middlingbank.

Most off the fishing has been good in the afternoon with a good number off browns coming in on the Dark.

Rainbows are starting to come in as well best fly’s are Fuzzy Wuzzys, black woolly buggers, black and red woolly worm

Remember when stripping the fly in change your action 6 small jabs wait 5 seconds then more quick jabs this has been working well

Do the same with B/H Nymphs you will be surprised well that’s the best tip I can give at the moment  it has been working.

Not much has change at Jindabyne with not many reports coming in once again with my tips at Jindy good luck

Reports from Tantangara have been picking up with good numbers of fish coming in worth a fish.

Lake Guthega good reports of brown close to the shore line so if you like the high country try this lake you will be surprised.

Three Mile dam if you like to catch up on your dry fly fishing this is a good spot to do that plenty of small fish but really good fun and a good day out.

Hi guys.

I thought I'd have a go at sending you a pic.

Here's a nice 6 lb. brown caught at Coppermine just on dark on a floating beetle a couple of weeks back.

 

Regards,

Andrew.

                  




Hi guys,

Popped into your store on Wednesday  afternoon and picked up a few leaders, I said I would let you know how the fishing went.

 

Fly fished Rushies from around 6pm to 12pm and was joined by around 10 like-minded individuals on sunset, all of who were also fly fishing. At about 9.30pm one bloke picked up a fish using a dry fly pattern, and try as I might to hear what the fly was, I couldn’t quit catch it. Shortly after 2 other guys missed takes apparently using the same fly pattern. Then it went dead again.

 

Up until this point I had used a variety of wets and dries, all to no avail.

At around 10.30pm I went back to using a cordulid and with my first cast, without any retrieve, it was smashed by a hefty rainbow. Fish landed. With my next cast, the same cordulid was smashed again by another hefty rainbow. This time it took two short fast retrieves. Thinking I was on a winner I landed the second fish and cast as soon as humanly possible hoping and expecting a third fish! Unfortunately it wasn’t to be, and from what I could hear it was the last bit of fish action for anyone, before I called it a night around 12pm.

 

So the fish are there but they take some effort. See you when the new moon arrives!

Jindabyne:- Spinning and Trolling no Reports

Eucumbene:- Trolling and Spinning

Reports have been good over the Christmas holidays with some good fishing down the bottom end off the lake around

Rushy’s, Middlingbank, seven gates, Wainui bay, trolling with tassies devils, 100,Y48,31,92,7,104,10,52,76,S11,21

Most fish have been taking them about 40 meters out with some good results.

Sting lures have been going well closer to the shore line picking up some good browns, 4,16,17,11,25,23,18

the best lure has been the strike pro blades inGold, silver, brown, black, try them you will be surprised.

Other lakes to try Guthega dam and Three mile dam this is a good time to get up there with most off the fish taking small

Lures like Celtas and Rapalas have been working well if you haven’t tried these lakes get up there.

Tantangara has been doing much the same as Eucumbene but the stand out lurer is the strike pro blades from the shore line and trolling

Give them ago Gold, silver are working well 

Jindabyne   need reports

So if anyone has any reports send them to info@alpineangler.com.au thanks

 

         

G’day guys

Fished the Buckenderra arm at Euc for a couple of days just before new year. Overall there was a noticeable lull in action with the water dropping around 4 - 6 inches during our stay. Although bait and fly sessions came up trumps, with a little persistence these mates still managed to troll up a brace of browns and bows. Every fish had dined on spider mudeyes. The brown on the left had gorged on at least 15! No doubt an encouraging sign of the float fishing action to come. Another nice brown was also caught, but it was dutifully stowed away on ice for one of the wonderful wives!

Prost! and happy new year....Gee that Boat must have good brakes!!!

                  BAIT FISHING IS FANTASTIC

best place to fish is Eucumbene fishing very well
best bait is worms and Mudeye's.

Baitfishing :-

Mudeye’s are back in stock now and are producing some good fish at Eucumbene worm as well have been the stand out Bait with some good browns been caught.

And rainbows been caught power bait has been working alright in most places.

Best areas are seven gates, Middlingbank, old Adaminaby, anglers Reach and Rushys bay.

If you can catch some grasshoppers try them under a bubble.

Most off the bait fisherman are doing well all around the lake so if you want to get them browns there are plenty of them about.

Tantangara has been great with some big browns coming in around 5 to 6lb mostly on worms and Mudeye’s

 

Hey Patto,

 

The week leading up to Christmas, Mum and I joined Dad and my two brothers on their annual trout trip.

 

The fishing was a bit tough, with most fish being caught just on dark.

The strong winds made it hard for Mum and I to fly fish (we only had one lesson in the backyard prior to going to Buckenderra). On the last two days, Mum and I fished mudeyes under bubble floats and I caught my first trout, a brown of 4 1/2 pounds. I also caught some rainbows and another large brown trout. Mum caught a nice rainbow trout too.

As this was mine and Mum's first trout trip, we were very pleased with our results. I would like to thank Mick and the staff at The Alpine Angler for all of their help.

 

All the best in the New Year.

 

Serena Jones   well done Serena 'bad luck boys'

Hi,

My son Ben caught a magnificent 6lb 3oz Brown trout at Eucumbene on a mudeye in Stockyard bay on the 30^th of December just after dark. He was very pleased with himself and on closer inspection, the trout was not hooked by very much, he was very lucky to get it in without pulling the hook!

Thanks
