FLY FISHING RIVERS

Most rivers are running well and fishing well with the warmer weather here now things are really starting to pick up.
 

On the Monaro streams things are starting to pick with all streams fishing great but remember if you are fishing these streams we do Recommend catch and release (Please)!!

Up around Jindabyne all rivers have calm down now and the fishing is good with all rivers running well and clear worth a look. Up higher in the mountains Thredbo, Perisher, all river are going well and don’t forget about all the small dams around the area again worth a look all fishing well. Good reports coming from Kiandra fishing the runs with a nymph and letting it run into the deeper holes with some good rainbows sitting in the holes “working well”.

Remember if you can practice catch and release on all rivers that way you can come back next year knowing that fish will be a bigger and better fish a photo can tell many stories!!

 

 

FLY FISHING LAKE EUCUMBENE

Fly fishing has been up and down on the lake that’s to do with the weather wind and more wind yes I’ve about had it as well!!

But things are starting to warm up and the insects are starting to come out along with the mudeye’s so it wont be long now till the action starts.

At the moment the nymphs, woolly buggers, minnows and woolly worms are the best wet flies to have.

Best areas are

Middling Bank, Braemer Bay, Frying pan and Seven gates. Overall it’s a little slow on the fly but thing will change once the weather comes good.

 

 

LAKE EUCUMBENE TROLLING

Trolling has been going well on the lake with some good rainbows and browns but at times things have been a little hard with all that wind and rain but once things calm down the reports have been good.

Over at Middling Bank Tassie devils and King Cobras have been doing well along with the strike pro blades.

At Seven gates Tassie Devils, Rapalas, King Cobras and Crick hoppers are going well.

At Braemer Bay fishing has been good both rainbows and Browns going well on King Cobras, Tassie Devils, Blades and Rapalas

Overall the Trolling has been good and better times to come now the weather is clearing up looks like the Snowy comp is going to be good for the trollers.

 

 

 

 

TROLLING JINDABYNE LAKE

Trolling the lake has been up and down but that is only to do with the weather but after the wind and rain has stopped things have improved with good results with the rainbows and browns.

Best areas are , poo bay, waste point, Kalkite and hatchery bay

Best times have been around 6am to 10am but if the weather is warm and cloudy the fishing has been good all day long.

best lures are

 

 

BREAMER BAY REPORT

updated fishing report for the week ending October 30th 2016, well the
annual trout festival is on in earnest now with more than 60 entrants
here at , things started off well with fine weather and good
conditions on the first day with some nice Browns in the 1.5kg range
coming in regularly, Rainbows are a bit hard to find right now and those
that were caught were in the small range, trolling, bait and Fly have
all proved successful methods although Sundays weather conditions put a
stop to most forms with only a handful of anglers venturing out in the
rough and cool conditions.

The fishing leading up to the festival was very encouraging with a
Brown at 3.29kg being caught on worms and a few others in the 2kg range,
also caught on worms, the trollers did well on some days and drew blanks
on others with darker colours seeming to tempt fish, lure casting from
the bank has also remained steady with Adam Collis and Drew Dean getting
amongst some Browns once the water stirred up a bit using Pegrons and
Wobblers, Peter Giles caught some great Browns in the 2kg range using a
variety of flies but the standout once again has been the olive woolly
bugger.

Pictured are Trent and Paul with a sample of their recent catches, Neil
with his fantastic 3.29kg Brown, Herbie Hallam with a sample of his
catches, Peter Giles with his 2kg Brown and Greg from the Belgrave
brigade with his pair of 3kg Browns.

BAIT FISHING

Bait fishing is great on both lakes on worms power bait and mudeye’s

At the moment fishing anywhere on the lakes you will get results not sure on what bait is doing it’s best the results are coming in with mudeye’s, worms, power bait.

So if you are wanting bait for the trout fest you best start thinking about booking your mudeye’s and worms next week I’m sure they wont last long.
