Fishing Report by Lars

OUR PARK FISHERMEN REPORT:

Hi everyone, today is one of these fantastic fresh autumn mornings with crisp fresh air and full sunshine. It makes me wonder why I'm sitting here right now, telling you about fishing when I should be out there doing it instead. But today I have one very happy customer. Ian is a regular flyfisherman to this Park and he got a whopper of a Brown last night on a Mrs Simpson, just a fraction under 3.5 kg and it was 630mm.

The BOAT RAMP is working well . Please be considerate and park in the designated parking area, DON'T park on the sides of the ramp. People must have space to get their boats safely into the water.

LAKE LEVELS: Eucumbene – 19.6% (this is at least 2x the capacity of Sydney Harbour). Tantangara - 6.1 %

LAKE EUCUMBENE:

Fly Fishing – Fly fishing from the banks is quite good but the best time to do it is one hour before sunset and to around 10pm. But at night you can get fish at any time.

Bait Fishing: - Because of the drought we have a problem to get enuogh mudeyes but powerbait, worms and grubs are also working well so there's no panic.

Spinning: - Very good paticularly in the evening and after dark

Trolling - has been very good. Personally I use lead core line, three to four colours and that equals, depending on the speed of your boat, three to five meters. I've heard that most people have been quite happy with the trolling. Coppermine Bay has been the safe spot to get a few.

EUCUMBENE RIVER – We need more water before the fishing gets back to normal, but there's plenty of smaller fish, so if you want to have some fun, put a small dry or nymph on a 4lb leader and enjoy.

MURRUMBIDGEE RIVER - I've had quite a few reports of mainly smaller fish being caught and they've all been on dry flies or smaller nymphs.

CREEKS - Most of the creeks' water levels are down, so they need a topup before they are worth fishing.

PLEASE NOTE: There's still plenty of fishing to be done before the season closes during the June long weekend. If you need any help with what fly or lure to use and where to fish, I'm always happy to to help any of our customers.

See you soon!!
