Fly Fishing Rivers

Eucumbene river has been a little hard but reports are

coming in that the fish are getting more active late in the

afternoons with all this hot weather there’s more and more

insects getting about.

So the best areas to be fishing is the top end of Eucumbene
and in the gorge try to fish most of the shady areas this is

where you will find the fish most people have been fishing

all the open areas remember when it’s hot and bright we

don’t like it same goes for the fish so look for the cooler

waters.

Start fishing the runs and let the fly get into the deeper

waters after the runs this is where the fish are there all

looking for the cooler waters. You are not going to find the

fish in the ponds with this hot weather.

Best flies are B/H Nymphs, std Nymphs,

Best Dry’s are Hare’s Ear & Gold, Xmas beetles, red tags,

Wulff Royal, Stimulators,

 

TANTANGARA

Fishing much the same as Eucumbene it’s a little harder to

find the shady areas but when you do the fish are there

aswell as Eucumbene fish all the runs let the flies go into

the deeper waters!!

 

MURRUMBIDGEE RIVER

Has been fishing well late in the afternoons most of the fish

are only pan sized but well worth the fun if you are lucky

you will get that big one that’s why this river is so good to

fish you just don’t know. most People have been fishing

around Adaminaby and down past the race course track.

Best dry flies are Wulff Royal, red tags, Elk hair caddis,

 

 

THREDBO RIVER

Has been a little slow at times but is Improving again if your

fishing this river fish most of the shady areas you will find

the fish sitting under the banks or around the overhanging

bushes take your time look most people are walking past the

fish.

Fishing up around the ski tube is ok and around the diggings.

Remember look in the shady areas get away from the sunny

bright areas.

 

 

Don’t forget there are many rivers around Adaminaby,

Jindabyne, Cooma, to go fishing not a bad time to start

looking around. 

 

 

 

 

Lake Eucumbene:- still the fishing is a little tuff on the


fly in places not many rainbow are coming in but the

brown are still hanging around close to the shore line

with some good fish being Caught most fisherman

are doing well down the bottom end of the lake

around Seven gates, Rushes bay, and over at

Braemer

bay. With the better fish coming from braemer bay

most of the fish have been Caught on wet flies late

in

the afternoons on Woolly worms, woolly Buggers, Mrs

Simpsons, Craig’s night time.

Overall the fishing has been ok with some good

browns coming in yes it has been hard for some

fisherman but most are coming in with good results

let’s hope the Mudeyes start up soon along with the

grasshoppers things may change for the better the

rainbows will start coming in!!!! we hope.

 

   

Lake Jindabyne:- has Improved over the Christmas

holidays with most of the fish Caught up around

Kalkite many of the fish being Browns.

Polarizing around the western side is still the best

way

to go with the locals doing very well most of the fish

are taking Nymphs and late in the afternoon the

fishing has been going well with Craig’s, woolly

buggers, Mrs Simpsons.

If you are fishing through the day fish most of the

deeper waters and as the sun goes down get to the

shallow bays this should get you the results you

want.

BAIT FISHING

 

Bait fishing has still been the way to go worms are doing the job along with Mudeye’s.

Best places to go are Buckenderra, Rushes, Seven gates, Anglers Reach.

Power bait has been working ok but as it has been for sometime now the rainbows are still out in the deeper waters.

At the moment the worms are doing the job and they will for sometime the browns are in close and out wide so if you are heading up to Eucumbene or Jindabyne

The bait fishing is good.

Starting to get reports of browns taking Mudeyes in the bays with a good drop off late in the afternoons if you can get some grasshoppers fish them the same as the Mudeye’s.
