The trout fishing has been pretty good up around Tumut the last month or so, If you do want to go up there I suggest staying in Talbingo, take a boat and give the Talbing dam a try, tassies & rapalas are as good as any lure.Having good success on chunky cheese and lemon twist powerbaits off the bank both in Talbingo and Jounama dams, Blowering dam just above Tumut has been producing a big yelas up to 60cm and 15lb marks and Murray cod are being caught redfin are in abundance in the warmer months a few getting caught Ive heard easiest fish to catch here when they are on just humble worms bobbed up and down will get you a feed.
The tumut river is running very fast at present and will do so for weeks to come but its full of pan size trout my last effort seen 18 hook ups for 9 landed and just kept the one a 40cm rainbow.
Beautifull part of the world (GOD'S COUNTRY)everyone should visit this year with the dams so full its not seen all thought often, nearly 20 years ago was the last time. The banks are alive with Kangaroos, Emus and Rabbits with a few wombats and snakes thrown in LOL.
