LAKE EUCUMBENE FLY FISHING
Fly fishing has picked up in the last few weeks with some good results coming from Anglers Reach, Braemer Bay, Buckenderra and Seven gates.
After all the rain we have had things are Improving out wide and in close with rainbows and browns most fishers are using large wet flies out in the deeper waters and in close the nymphs seem to be doing the job on the browns out in the deeper waters big woolly buggers and fuzzy’s and yabbie flies are working well at a really slow retrieve.
If you are walking the edge look for the gully’s use a bead head flie let it drop retrieve slow the fish are there with all the rain there is plenty of food laying around.
Overall the fishing is picking up the lake is rising and the weather is looking good. Remember the better fishing days are the bad days so do not let the weather put you off.

LAKE JINDABYNE FLY FISHING
Jindabyne is fishing really well with good results coming from most parts of the lake, this is the time to start walking and looking for the big browns now they have finished spawning.
Best places are poo bay, waste point, hatchery bay, east jindy, kalkite,
Overall jindy is fishing well fish are in close and moving around looking for food unlike eucumbene fish jindy on a nice sunny day sun behind your back and keep moving look for them do not stand around waiting go to them!!

Howdy Michael,

Peter from Braemar with an updated fishing report for the week ending.

Once again the weather played a big part in fishing successes this past week with very heavy rain preventing anyone from venturing out late week, the early part of the week however was quite pleasant but the fishing was a bit slower compared to previous weeks.

Bait fishing with worms continues to be the stand out with some very nice Browns and Rainbows up to 2kg caught early week and even the fly-fishing picked up a bit in fine sunny conditions.

Sergey from Sydney managed a very nice Brown of 2207gms and 4 Rainbows up to 900gms on worms just before the rain arrived and Ben Tickle from Kalkite managed a magnificent Brown around the 2 kg mark on a bead head woolly bugger of his own tie late one afternoon.

Andrew, Michael and Damien from Melbourne caught several nice Rainbows spin casting from the bank near the dam wall one morning using a variety of lures, most successful were the laser pegron and the vibrax spin blade which also accounted for a couple of Browns around the 1 kg mark.

Not much in the way of trolling to report this week, one group who called into the shop had a 4 boat convoy trolling around Cobrabald for 11 fish in one session which was a mix of Browns and Rainbows up to 1100gms, they used a combination of Sting, Cobra and Tassie Devil lures with # 106 # 10 # 50 and #112 doing the most damage . 

With all this rain over the past few weeks and a decent base of snow to melt once the weather warms up a bit should ensure that the Lake continues to rise, right now it is nudging 47% which has been a 11% turnaround from the low of 36% in late June, the bank fishing will remain pretty good for a while yet.

Pictured below is Sergey with his 2207 gms Brown and magnificently coloured 2 kg plus Brown caught and released by Ben Tickle.
