EUCUMBENE FLY LAKE AND RIVER

Lake Eucumbene is still dropping at a fast rate but with the recent rain and cold weather things are looking better. Most fly fishing has been ok with wet flies but pick your areas around the lake try fishing around rocky areas and look for good gully’s where the wash has been going in. Over at Middling bank on the eastern side has been good and over at frying pan most fish have been holding up in these areas after the recent rains, Best wet flies are woolly Buggers, Nymphs, woolly Worms, Craig nighttimes, with a slow retrieve. Best times have been between p.m. and 11pm at night overall the fishing has been a little hard but fish at the right time thing will get better.

On the river the fishing has been ok up at Sawyers and Kiandra with some good rainbows taking nymphs in the runs, With the dry’s Klink hammers, Stimulators, Adams these have been the pick late in the afternoons.

 

 

 

 

 

JINDABYNE FLY LAKE AND RIVER 

 fishing at Jindy is again up and down like Eucumbene so most of the fishing is better around p.m. till late over on the western side the fishing is picking up with some good browns coming close to the shore line after dark woolly buggers are the pic at that time. Over on the Eastern side around Jindy East fishing with woolly buggers and Mrs Simpsons have been good alone with Black Nymphs, up at Kalkite fishing is still going well with some fish coming in close in the middle of the day so walk the banks and have a good look you should see some good browns. Overall the fishing has been ok like Eucumbene so fish at the right times you should get results!!

Thredbo River,Well things are looking well the water temp is good the fishing is good this would be the pic of all rivers at the moment with some good reports coming from top to bottom, Best dry’s flies are Stimulators, Red Tags, Nymphs, Adams are working well. Overall worth fishing

                   

 

 

 

 

 

 

EUCUMBENE TROLLING

Trolling Eucumbene has been up and down on the lake but after last nights rain thing are looking good yes the lake is dropping and the fish are going deeper so move out into the deeper waters and slow down most trollers have been doing a lot better. Most Tassie have been working well along with the Rapala’s , Minnows , Blades and crick hoppers behind cow bells and ford fenders, Best times are around 6am till 10am and late in the afternoons remember stay away from the banks go out into the deeper waters.

Best areas are Braemer bay start heading down the lake if you're fishing Buckenderra get out into the deeper water.

 

 

JINDABYNE TROLLING

Well jindy has Improved a little with some good reports coming from the dam wall and east Jindabyne up around Kalkite the trolling has been good late in the afternoons. Like Eucumbene move out into the deeper waters slow down, Best lures are Stings, Blades, Rapala’s and larger Celtas. Overall Jindabyne is fishing well just get out there at the right time things will Improve unlike Eucumbene the lake is high and the water temp is good overall jindy is the place to fish at the moment.

 

 

 

BAIT FISHING

Jindabyne has been ok with some good reports coming from Kalkite, wast point, poo bay, Hatchery bay if you are fishing after 10 am go find the deeper water and try the worm under a bubble and power bait with a two meter lead don’t go out there doing the same old thing try something different longer leads and worms with a bubble float that will keep the yabbies away from your bait. Mud eye's are working well all over the lake But we are finding them hard to get. Yes we have mud eye's but running out very quickly sorry we are not taking any orders for mud eye's.

Overall the fishing is ok you just need to find the right time and spot and that would be late afternoons and in the deeper bays.

 

Eucumbene is fishing a little slower then Jindabyne at the moment as we all know it's dropping at a fast rate so keep out of the bays and go look for some deeper water and if you are going to fish bays look for the gully’s after the rain last night you should find some fish holding up in these areas. Worm are still working ok but like Jindy try the worm under a bubble float and if you going to use power bait you will need about a half of a meter lead mud eye's are going well but at the moment we are finding them hard to get. Best bait Mud eye's. Again the fishing is ok you just need to look for the deeper bays and fish in the gully’s
