Eucumbene:- The great trolling continues, just stick to the main launching area at Old Adaminaby for the moment. Both flatlines and leadlines at 3 colours have been producing the goods. The rainbows are in peak condition and averaging around the 1kg mark, feeding heavily on yabby's with the falling water levels, while some better browns have also started to show up as they get itchy for spawning. Consistent lures include Tasmanian Devils in Cols 36,89,55, 72,S12, Y82 & Y62. Our own Alpine Cobra's in the Alpine special,Pink Wings and Pink Bits patterns, Rebel minnows and crawfish,ultra deep Merlins,Stump Jumpers,Rapala minnows and jointed shad raps , RMG Scorpions & Poltergeist.
*Scott :Here is a pic from last weekend fishing Storm Rippin Shad Soft plastics on Saturday. You cant see the lure in its mouth but I can assure you it was caught on the brown pattern I told you about yesterday. This fish was one of 3 caught during a "muddy" bank session in pouring rain in the middle of the day while on a reccy.
This is the 3rd season my mates and I have been using soft plastics for trout.Still chasing up some more pics from the last 2 winter seasons on the lake where we almost only use "storm shads" for trout. There has only been 2 or 3 sessions out of 20 or 30 trips where we have had to change to another lure apart from plastics - David Hogan
*We also had a report of a 7kg brown being taken on a plastic from up around Tolbar

The best area's have been in the main basin out around the islands in front of town & Sid's Bay over at East Jindy, up around Waste Point and at the top of the lake around Kalkite. Fishing a mixture of small minnows like RMG Scorpions, Merlins , Rapalas & Attacks along with Tassies in just about all the "Yellow Wing",as well as our own Alpine Cobra's in the Alpine Special & Pink Wings patterns producing the goods.
:- Snowy River Shire Council & Snowy Hydro have upgraded and cleared off the silt from the old Denison st at Old Adaminaby and added gravel to the top turning/parking area as well . This ramp can now be used to launch larger boats with out too much trouble. This ramp will now be cleared regularly to keep access for launching boats open on lake Eucumbene.Snowy Hydro are also looking at improving launching area's at Anglers Reach and the Dam wall - so we'll keep you posted.
