Remember all rivers are running a little faster the weekend so get them Nymphs down.

 

TANTANGARA RIVER

Reports were ok with rainbows and brown moving up and down most parts off the river well worth a look this weekend after all that rain.

All other rivers around the snowy mountains are fishing well so now the weather is getting better it’s time to start looking.

Don’t forget the Monaro rivers are all running well and they all should have fish so it’s time to get out there.

Hi Mick,

Popped down on the weekend and ducked out for a fish on sunday arvo at the lake had the whole place to myself. Spotted a big brown taking dragon flies close to the thistles. I tried damsel patterns and a lot of other tricks but, eventually got him to eat a fuzzy he went 57cm one of my best fish from the lake on fly. Pic attached. Lots like you had a good day on the thredbo! Cheers, Marc Howard

BAIT FISHING

Bait fishing Eucumbene has been really good in places Seven gates, Rushes, middlingbank all on worms not many fish have been taking the Power bait at the moment but if the rainbow do come on things will change yes they will come on soon there has been some good reports off rainbows moving around out wide and some have been close with some lucky fishermen getting them. Overall the bait fishing has been good but remember only down at the bottom end off the lake only.

Good reports from the locals up at Tantangara with the bait fishing again all on worms good reports off rainbows and browns but the rainbows would not touch the power bait?

Over at Jindabyne things have been ok on the power bait and worms the best thing about jindy is the rainbows are nice and fat and the browns are full off yabbies and there on the bite.

Overall the bait fishing is good on all lakes.
