Well , with some good rain over the region in the first week of Feb, rivers are looking in great shape. Fish are out feeding right through the day, mostly taking dry flies.
After some very hot windy weeks through Jan , the cooler, wetter weather has had its effect and fishing has been very good.
Thredbo river has been fishing well over the last couple weeks, with the dry fly working best. Early and late in the day it is also worth using weighted nymphs.
Moonbah has been a bit slow , however with the rain there over the past few days it should pick up. Gungarlin river has been great fishing with large numbers of fish caught. Upper Murray has also produced some good fishing , right through the day feeding mostly on caddis. Swampy around Keebles has also been good.
Best flies at the moment have been, Elk hair caddis, Stimulators, Royal wullfs , and X cicada in black. Best Nymphs include, weighted Hare and copper, Black seals fur and Copper pheasant nymphs , suspended beneath your dry . We recommend and pratice “catch and release” in all these rivers.
Lake Jindabyne has picked up with a lot of fish caught at around 30 to 40 feet . Around the edges has been a bit slow , but with a good sinking line you can get down to these fish. On the surface at night, Mudeyes seem to be working best with the Black muddler minnow and foam mudeye selling well. The lake is looking good for this time of year and has been fishing well.
In the shop we have had a delivery from Sage and Redington, with all the new models in store. Sage have some great Bass rods available now which include the line!!
The new Sage Vantage has been selling well at a great price. We have SIMMS, KORKER, VISION, CHOTA, RIVERWORKS and COLUMBIA wading boots in stock with some specials in Columbia and Riverworks boots.
We also have a good range of fly tying gear and materials , hooks, tungsten beads fur and feathers. So why not start a new hobby to help support your fly fishing habbit. We can put together a fly tying kit for beginners or the expert. Nothing like catching a fish on your own creation.
So drop into the shop and check out all the new toys and stock up on some flies and gear and head out for some great fishing adventures. And why not book one of our experienced local Guides for a lesson, half day or full day guiding.
Safe and happy fishing
