  1. Just came back from a few days in the Snowies and I tell you what, its TOUGH! Eucy is fishing well but all the other areas are very very slow (March is actually the toughest month I reckon). Will put a full report up later.

    Yes Dear, you still thinking of heading up over Easter? I will be there again :thumbup:

    Cheers

    Windy

    Yes we are heading down on the thursday

    Staying at Geehi Camping area near Swampy Plains River

    heading home on the following Tuesday

    where are you staying at your folk's house no doubt

    cheers

    Jamie

  2. One of the best spots I found was near a weir on the Numerella River just near cooma.

    There are platties and a few turtles there as well.

    Been going there for years and good my first trout on fly (71cm Rainbow).

    The fish are very stream line not like Lyell or TCD fish.

    Cheers

    whats the camping like

    is ther much water to fish

    cheers Roffo

  3. mate, after that trout you caught the other week, why are you looking elsewhere? :1fishing1: I've been fossicking around obes for years, we've never seen one like that in the rivers.

    Pure fluke that one

    always looking for new camping and fishing locations

    just ordered the "fishing the snowy mountains" book, I heards it pretty good with the info.

    cheers

  4. You can downsize the trebles, not only in usual size (10, 12 etc) but you can also downsize the style. By that mean you can essentially keep the same size treble but find one thats has smaller gape. This is a bit tough though, finding a smaller gape. Easy to upsize the gape but downsizing is hard.

    What you can do that works is only downsize one treble, normally the front one. That way you keep the rear treble the same size as it's the one that usually pins the fish. The drawback with this is you can potentially unbalance small minnows.

    Hope that helps a bit

    Thanks Matt that makes a lot of sense.

    I will look into this.

    It was nice to meet you the other day and have a chat.

    Next time you are heading down there PM me and I will try to meet up.

    I'm heading down there after work today.

    cheers

  5. Hi Raiders

    is the best way to stop trebles from getting tangled on each other on my small lures to down size them.

    it is so frustrating having to untangle them after every couple of retieves of missing a good cast due to the front and rear tebles caught up on themselves.

    mainly on my sx 48 and ck 40 and the new px I also get this on a lot of my bass poppers.

    maybe it's just me? :(

    any advise would be great

  6. That's a screamer of a Brown Yes Dear :thumbup: Did you get to have a look at Lake Oberon?

    Hey Roffo, you still heading to Lyell on Sat? I was thinking of giving it a go, all though I hear its fishing poorly at the moment.

    Cheers

    Windy

    No we didn't go to the dams we were consintrating on the streams

    cheers

  7. Hi Raiders,

    Itchin to break in my new pro tactic with a fish i hit fig tree at dawn on the big high tide.

    When the sun came up the hits started to come and the ever trusty camion was again getting hammered by much bigger bream :thumbup:

    After a couple of screaming drags and hook pulls :thumbdown: i settle down to work the flat and bang the reel screams and i am loosing line very fast :biggrin2: the pro tactic handles the stubiness of a typical big bream and after a pretty long battle i cradle this stonker and break in the new stick in style :thumbup:

    post-2475-1203464403_thumb.jpg

    at 36cm and solid a very good bream

    then it just goes nuts and i switch to the lucky craft pencil which is monstered every cast :thumbup:

    after loosing two more very good bream at the end of long fights the hooks finally stay in this one who fights like a demon for his size just under 30cm

    which side of the bridge you fishen K

    I don't reconise the timber under bream pic 2

    cheers

    post-2475-1203464426_thumb.jpg

    great session and i am stoked with the pro tactic :yahoo:

    cheers

  8. well done!!! I too had a birthday trout session, dropped a nice one on the shores of lake oberon, that's about it. It was about a metre from shore, took one jump in the air, threw the hooks and that was that. Also lost another much smaller one in a river near by. That's an amazing fish from the river in particular. You're obviously a lot better than me!

    No I doubt that all arse at the moment.

    Hey Yes Dear, you forgot to mention the first fish of the day buddy .... In all seriousness, they got no smaller than this 5cm number which was just as hungry as the other 15, but it was a great weekend had by all, glad the weather held out for us!!

    where are the other pics?

    here is another angle of Mr brown :thumbup:

  9. I toooo! had a birthday trout sesion on Lake Lyell, doughnut, not even a strike. Hey as a tradie i can help you with that deck, then we can go yakin!

    Waynie

    tHanks for the offer.

    it's so close now all I need is the rain to hold off this weekend and we should be sitting on it haven a few cans, next is the bifolds.

    the kayak will be around March I think (need to stoke the wallet back up).

    cheers

    I doubt that I think I was more suprised than the fish, but don't it get the blood pumping.

    the mrs was bolting to the car for the camera, me mates mrs was yelling instructions from the sure and fishenmagician was just stoked. he went for some nice hard runs and gave the drag a good workout, once in hand he was pretty tired and his heart was beating harder than ours. :1prop:

    heres another angle for you Dave :074:post-3444-1203332082_thumb.jpg

  10. Wow very nice brown mate top fish :thumbup::thumbup:

    how about a full report hey.

    16 trout is awesome :yahoo:

    Kael

    yeh it sounds good doesn't it

    My mrs is holding one of them :1prop:

    there was about 6 that size but all the rest were 25-35 typical river size, however the mrs dropped a stonker (not enough drag set and dropped the rod tip down at the wrong time) :1badmood: and we saw some big beast following lures out from the dark depths of some pools.

    looking good for the cold season.

    Sensational, Looks a great quite spot too.....

    That is a fit browny, I'm going to try sp's at Lyall (land based) on Sat Morning if your interested.

    Cheers

    Roffo

    Love to but I have a date with a front deck at my joint which has been being built for to long now and needs to be finished off.

    will be buying a kayak soon and will think about dragging it up there for a bit of fun I reckon.

  11. Hi Raiders,

    Went for a dawn session yesterday on the low tide armed only with my trusty flikstik and a pocket full of hard bodies :biggrin2:

    Under the street light the baitfish huddled but the predators we absent, no joy with the new LC pencil :thumbdown:

    As the sun came up so did the wind but this is generally good for skinny water fishing.

    Over the shallow flats the baby min50 was getting hits and finally the (lightly set) drag starts a singing and we have our first bream at about 26cm

    he catches the light nicely

    post-2475-1203027694_thumb.jpg

    I change to a camion SR which casts suprisingly far and can be SLOW rolled and twitched and the breambos are climbing all over it :thumbup:

    post-2475-1203027721_thumb.jpg

    BM your on fire

    thats my local and I have had nothings but crap for some time now.

    what end of the flats you workin

    a few more smaller bream and a little whiting and the drag realy starts to sing as the camion is smashed :thumbup:

    at 34cm a quality bream that fought long and hard

    post-2475-1203027708_thumb.jpg

    soon I have got to go to work but on the way i stop of for a final flick

    a few casts in the camion is hammered at my feet by a mega flatty :thumbup:

    i lose a lot of these fish from being bitten off and after a very spirited fight with plenty of powerful runs i beach this old girl just as she bites though the leader

    post-2475-1203027731_thumb.jpg

    well maybe not mega but 55cm is decent for any lizard

    Cheers

    BM

  12. Hey BM

    last few times I have been down there I have scored next to zip.

    where you on the carpark side of the HH wall side.

    I have given the poppers a go on the flats and have had a few follows but no hits.

    what's the method you use as I am real keen to get this down pat.

    what the sambo you mentioned I was going to get some Taylor made poppers.

    cheers Kael

  13. Hi all,

    I was thinking of giving Tuglow Wild Trout facility a go on my birthday weekend and was curious to see if anyone has had any experience with the place before.

    the web site claims good river and fish access but wouyld love to hear from somebody who has had a go there before.

    Any info would be great.

    cheers

  14. Was lucky to get an invite from good mate Gregl to have a crack at the nepean bass population, so off we went reasonably early at 6ish this morning, launched Gregs boat and headed for the gorge and beyond, was a perfect day not too hot or cold, overcast skies perfect conditions for surface bass, Greg had all the luck early catching a couple of small ones off the top, then we changed and started fishing gulps, Greg was rewarded almost immediatly with some very health specimens, Greg was then kind enough to suggest a colour change to me and I was immediatly rewarded as well, we fished pretty much all day alternating between surface, plastics and spinner baits, had an absolutley awesome day, we would have easily caught 50 plus fish by the time we headed for home, Greg even had a double hook up on two rods he was fishing at the same time, simply awesome, anyway heres a few picks of the better ones, cheers Justin. post-4186-1200297642_thumb.jpg

  16. Geez give the bloke a break. If he wanted to give up spot X that easily he would have posted GPS co-ordinates.
