The Alpine Angler
Published by Rod Allen"
What a great Easter weekend we had up here in the snowies!!! The 3 main lakes,Euc,jindy and tantangarra all fired up for the holiday makers with exceptional weather and fishing to all methods from bank or boat.Scrubbies accounted for many fine captures around the lakes margins,mudeyes (if you can get your hands on them) are also as close to a sure thing as you can get in trout fishing,and your favourite Tassie devil or rapala trolled or cast getting just as much attention.Whilst we have missed out on rain during March,the rivers are in a fairly good state.The Euc around and above Sawyers through to Kiandra still offering good sight fishing to stream sized trout with the odd 3lber keeping you on your toes.Thredbo river is probably the pick of them at the present time especially in the lower sections with lots of eager fish taking the usual terrestrial bugs right through the day and turning a bit more selective as evening approaches and the mayfly and caddis become more prevalent.Ive found the choc brown klinkhammer to be an excellent fly or a bubble caddis pupa is my other choice.Moonbah river has also been great along its entire length from the diversion weir right up to its head waters,again,terrestrial bugs like hoppers and beetles are your go to fly on this little gem and trying a royal wulf when things get a bit tough seems to get them going again.Murrumbidgee has been a little quiet above the dam but below at yaouk still producing lots of action to fly and small spinners such as celtas.Working your way up to the gorge area is always enjoyable way to spend an arvo and very reliable.Id like to take this opportunity to congratulate every one on their captures and conduct and thank you for looking after and respecting the great snowy region over this easter break while still having a great time...well done!!!! tight lines
