LAKE EUCUMBENE

 Most fisherman are getting browns and the rainbows are still out in the deeper waters yes the fly fishing has been hard for most of the fly fishers but the brown are looking good most reports are coming in with browns over the 4lb mark.

Most of the fish are getting Caught around 7pm to 10pm best wet flies are Craig’s night time and black minnows, std black Nymphs.

Best areas are Middlingbank, Seven gates, Rushes,

We are getting mixed reports of people getting fish and people not getting any at all it’s hard to say where to go but at the moment if you are going out fly fishing go at these times as above you should get better results.

Overall the browns are in good nick and big I know thing can get hard at times but the longer you are out there at these time you are at good odds of getting a brown over the 6lb mark.

Best wet flies are.. Craig’s, black Nymphs, woolly buggers, and when it’s dark a purple fuzzy wuzzy is working well on a slow retrieve.
 

 

Fly Fishing Rivers

Eucumbene river has been a little hard but reports are

coming in that the fish are getting more active late in the

afternoons with all this hot weather there’s more and more

insects getting about.

So the best areas to be fishing is the top end of Eucumbene
and in the gorge try to fish most of the shady areas this is

where you will find the fish most people have been fishing

all the open areas remember when it’s hot and bright we

don’t like it same goes for the fish so look for the cooler

waters.

Start fishing the runs and let the fly get into the deeper

waters after the runs this is where the fish are there all

looking for the cooler waters. You are not going to find the

find the shady areas but when you do the fish are there

aswell as Eucumbene fish all the runs let the flies go into

the deeper waters!!
