Fishing Report by Lars

OUR PARK FISHERMEN REPORT 14/12/09:

Hi again from the lovely Snowy Mountains. Fishing has been nice and steady for quite some time with fly fishing and baitfishing with mudeye taking the biggest catches. The weather has been slightly uneven up here and that of course can affect the fishing for a day or two.

The BOAT RAMP is working well

LAKE LEVELS: Eucumbene – 34.2% Tantangara - 7%

LAKE EUCUMBENE:

Fly Fishing – Fly fishing in the shallow weedy beds has been excellent. During the warmer evenings we've had a lot of hatches which brings the fish in in big numbers. So remember to 'Match the Hatch' and if you can't do that why don't you try a wet like Mrs Simpson, Woolly Bugger or a mudeye pattern? The best time is late afternoon or night but early morning has been quite good too.

Bait Fishing: - if you can get hold of Couda Mudeye you'd be very unlucky if you don't get quite a few fish. Powerbait under a running sinker is doing quite well too.

Spinning: - has been nice and steady. Just walk the banks with a Snowy Minnow or one of our winged lures like Tassie or Cobra. The colour of the lures can be different from day to day so ask a local what's best at the time.

Trolling - too has been slightly uneven and you have to put your hours in. We have had a lot of medium to strong winds and the barometer has been up and down so that sometimes puts the fish off, but we have always been able to get a few. I met Billy a keen trout fisherman at the boat ramp the other day and he showed me an absolutely lovely 2.5 kilo silver Brown in prime condition with beautiful pink flesh. He also had two Rainbows so he was very happy with that day's fishing.

EUCUMBENE RIVER – slow fishing with mainly Rainbows being caught.

MURRUMBIDGEE RIVER - quite a few fish have been reported from our fly fishermen but the size of the fish hasn't been too big.

CREEKS - No recent reports.

The water level in Lake Eucumbene is still 10% up on this time last year. With the amount of food the fish are getting bigger and fatter every day of the week. With more steady weather coming up there should be excellent fishing over the holidays.

Christmas and New Year wishes
from,

LARS
