ALL RIVERS ARE FISHING MUCH THE SAME AS LAST WEEK REMEMBER EARLY MORNINGS AND LATE AFTERNOONS ARE THE BEST. 

 

THREDBO RIVER

The river is still looking good and flowing well good reports are coming from  the township Thredbo Village and the ski tube late in the afternoons and early mornings.

Down at paddy’s corner there has been some good results with rainbows and browns. Don’t forget about up around the diggings and the little Thredbo river plenty off little fish but fun.

Best places on the river have been up higher remember the best times are early mornings and late afternoons if you are going out in the middle off the days look for the deeper waters.

Best Dry flies are Stimulators, Royal Humpy’s, Royal Wulffs, Red Tags, Adams

Best wet flies are Nymphs, bead head or std 

 

  

 

EUCUMBENE RIVER 

Eucumbene river is running well from top to bottom just like the Thredbo we have been getting reports off fishermen not doing so well as i have been saying if your going fishing in the middle off the day it will be tuff you will have more fun and better results in the afternoon and early mornings this is when the fish are more active. We are still getting good reports up higher in the river around Kiandra and down around Sawyers. Trust me you will have a good time everywhere if you fish at the right time and the fish are there small and big.

Don’t forget you have the Murrumbidgee river as well most locals are have a good time.

    

TANTANGARA

Reports have been good up in the river most fly fishermen have been getting browns and just a few rainbows but it’s all looking good up that way at the moment the insect hatch has been good and the fish are very active late in the afternoons. Nymph fishing with a strike indicator has been the best way to fish or a Royal wulff and Nymph.                                                                                              

FLY FISHING LAKE EUCUMBENE & JINDABYNE

Eucumbene has been fishing good in places with most off the fishing has been down the bottom end off the lake, Rushes, Seven gates if you can handle it late night fishing get out there the results will be good.

Just looking at the reports coming from Canberra in the local papers that the fishing is slow lets hope the reports are telling fishermen about the good places to go fishing if not just give us a ring we will let you know.

Now the best areas to go fishing are!!

Rushes, Seven gates, Middlingbank on the East side off the lake

Best wets are small Nymphs black, Brown Olive, Black Minnow, Fuzzy Wuzzy, woolly Buggers black 
 

 

 

Lake Jindabyne things are looking good over on the west side off the lake there has been plenty off browns in close and out wide polaroiding around the lake has been great with good results coming in remember early mornings are the best.

Still getting good reports on rainbows in the lake big and small. At the moment Jindy is fishing really well the rainbows are big and fat and the browns are as well.
The lake at the moment if fishing the best I have seen it for some time now and things are only going to get better. 

 

 

TROLLING LAKE EUCUMBENE AND JINDABYNE

Trolling around Eucumbene has been good with reports off rainbow out wide and browns in close now the festival has finished thing should get back to normal.

Trolling around the deeper parts off the lake after 10am has been the trick for most fishermen and as the day goes by move your way into the shore line.

Up the top end off the lake fishermen have been happy with the trolling and spinning that’s where most off the rainbows have been yes most off them have been small but very fat.

Best lures are Tassies , Rapalas , Blades and sting lures

Has been good in places but you must get up early yes before the sun comes up with the days getting warmer the fish are starting to go down deeper as the day goes on so up nice and early.

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.
