    My neighbour has fished it further upstream near Talbingo and caught plenty of trout. Doesn't totally answer your question but there are certainly plenty in the creek. bn

    Ah k thanks mate. Yeah I didn’t mean the section near Gundagai but just anywhere in the creek. That’s good news, will go and have a look around above the town of Adjungbilly and see how I go. Was it in recent years he has fished it??

  2. Yes Dear do you know if Fish River is fishing well nowadays?? Or any river spots west of the mountains you guys know of? Would love to fish somewhere out there also. Paddy T I’m afraid I haven’t been yet. House work has had me tied down 🙄

    keen to go ASAP but shame the snakes are out already, was looking forward to not having to be on high alert the entire time! Ah well next winter.

    Id think realistically now my next adventure will be after opening weekend so would be keen to go somewhere west of the mountains if anyone has any spots for a camp and fish that might be less crowded? (Dont mind a bit of a walk).

    cheers

  3. Volitan! Thanks so much for the info mate, much appreciated. Will be sure to give a few of those ideas a try and yeah love the sounds of being able to walk one way only. James, -16! Bloody hell, was looking at getting a new sleeping bag but wasn’t planning for those types of temps. My only worry with the Cox’s is the carp but I guess they may not be as bad in the upper reaches around Lake Lyell...

  4. Gday guys, finally off on my next overnight fishing adventure (pending auntie Gladys giving us the ok). Looking at heading down to Tumut before season closes. Anyone got any good spots worth flicking a line or any rivers to focus on? Would love to find some really beautiful smaller water but with some deeper holes. We will just be walking and wading. Any tips on rivers that are going well recently would be great too. Thanks!!

     

     

  5. You guys think most of the blue mountains rivers will be in pretty good shape (plenty of water) after all that rain? Also, how long do rivers generally stay at a good level for after big rain before they return to their lower levels again?

    i was gonna give the Jenolan or somewhere around there a go in a couple weeks time.

    Any thoughts/advice appreciated

    thanks 

  6. Hi guys,

    Wondering if anyone has been trout fishing recently and has any reports on any Blue Mountains rivers or nearby? Or if anyone could provide thoughts on if any of those rivers would be fishing better now after the rain? 

    I hiked into Jenolan river in October and it was low but got some great trout, see below. Keen for another adventure if anyone has any tips of good spots to try it would be much appreciated!

    cheers

  7. Hi guys,

    went down to the Jenolan on the weekend and had a great time. Bloody beautiful and remote. Thanks Wcurral for the tips.

    caught 3 beautiful rainbow on celtas. River was very low but still some nice pools. Bloody tough walk out that almost killed my brother in law ha! Can see why it’s pretty rarely fished.

    saw to black snakes, had a nice cook up on the fire and all around great time. 

    Very keen on trying somewhere else for my next adventure.. if anyone has any tips it would be great! (Somewhere with a flatter walk would be cool :)

    Sounds like the Cox’s down from Little River could be good? How close could you get by car? Maybe Cox’s river camp ground then hike along? Is that private land or can you get along to underneath the little river and camp?

    also what’s the easiest way to upload a few pics/vids?

    Cheers 

  8. Hi PaddyT, thanks a lot for the reply. Mmm that's a shame you think it may be too dry for rivers at the moment, I really have my heart set on them rather than lakes. I have been looking at Fish River and Duckamaloi on google maps up around Oberon and some youtube vids which looked great but i suppose they may be from before the drought! Maybe someone else will have some intel anyway. In the meantime I will have a look south of Black Springs... assuming you mean Campbells River. Thanks again

  9. Hey folks, 

    Have just joined up to this forum as I have exhausted most online avenues for researching best options to try for a trout or 2 in and around the Blue Mountains.

    Basically it will be my first time fishing the area but have done a fair bit of freshwater fishing in Canada and NZ and love it.

    I am wanting to try somewhere potentially over the long weekend and would be more than happy for a bit of a hike/bush bash in to get to a good spot and then camp overnight. 

    I am hoping someone would be kind enough to give me a tip or 2 about areas to try and with some consideration of the current drought and the impact that may have on best places to fish..

    Thanks a lot in advance

    Tim
