Mate,
I grew up in the wagga area doing alot fly and lure fishing for trout in and around the snowy and vic alps and tumut's not a bad place to catch trout but its about 1/2 to 3/4 of an hour off the highway at gundagui and was very over fished a few years back. Blowering Dam holds a few trout but its more common to catch a Sh!T load of small Redfin, a few Yellars and cod. then there's talbingo dam about 1/2 to 3/4 of an hour further up the snowy mountins highway (watch out for the roos) so may be a bit far. i'd only suggest talbingo if you had a boat, if not than fish jounama pondage (hold some very nice trout and can be a pardise for fly fishing with a lot for surface active)which is just below talbing's township which there's no boat access. I'd would be Recomonding fishing the Murry river just below Lake hume (or even the hume itself produce some nice trout) at Albury Its only about 15mins off the highway.
Also just a quick note would to be to check to see if the rivers are open to trout fishing as i can't remember but i think that trout session closes on the long weekend in june and open on the long weekend in october but its been about 3 years since i serious fished these area's
Cheers
Dave
