LAKE EUCUMBENE FLY FISHING
Over the last two weeks things have been pretty hot and windy but the fishing has been ok in places but as always fish at the right times the fishing is a lot better,

Over at buckenderra the fly fishing has been up and down that is all to do with the heat and wind but late in the afternoons things get better mostly rainbows in close just getting on dark.

At middling bank the water is a lot warmer so start fishing all the gully’s where the deeper waters are, Best flies are woolly buggers, bead head nymphs, muddlers retrieve nice and slow.

Rushes bay the water is at lot cooler then other places the reports are the bigger the bay the better the fishing.

Seven gates late afternoon fishing is good and early mornings

Over at braemer bay things are a lot better most fly fishers are fishing the weedy banks with some good results, Bead head nymphs, woolly buggers, and on the dry’s klinkhammers and Stimulators are going well.

Overall the fishing has been good at the right times early and late have been the key, If you're fishing though the day things are going to be tuff!!

 

Best Dry Flies are, Klinkhammers, Stimulators, Royal Wulff’s

Best Wet Flies are, Nymphs, Woolly Buggers, Muddlers

 

 

 

TANTANGARA 

It’s still fishing well from the dam wall to the river mouth mostly browns all on wet flies woolly buggers, Muddlers, Fuzzy’s, and Nymphs.

The rainbow are coming on but late at night around 10pm till early mornings 

 

 

JINDABYNE LAKE

Things are still a little slow at Jindy with not many reports coming in so if you are heading up that way late in the afternoons would be your best bet “Needing More Reports Thanks” 

 

 

GATHEGA DAM

This is the time to start fishing this dam the grasshoppers are out the mud eye’s are about and the fishing is starting to pick up so if you like fishing and hiking it’s time to start before it’s to late.

 

 

Most dams up around the mountain areas are fishing well, So if you have not fished them yet now is the time to start, Best flies are hopper patterns.

Hi there,

 

I just got back from a fishing trip around the Eucumbene / Murrumbidgee rivers and wanted to pass on the experience. Alpine rivers are still fishing really well. Hot days mean that the fish are a bit sluggish once the sun gets up high but had a fair bit of luck early in the morning and late afternoon. Caught our fill of 30cm fish and a real trophy brown that was caught, photographed, and returned to the river to fight again another day. My tips are get up early, and don’t be afraid to explore! Hiking for an hour from your car to find a secluded fishing spot can really pay off!

 

P.S I read your report every few months to keep an eye on the conditions and really appreciate the effort you put in J

 

Enjoy,
