jewgaffer Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Hi Ian , Perhaps people who have fished in the freshwater side can assist with your question. I think that Bass numbers may be somewhat depleted seeing they can't get over the weir unless it's flooded. I hope someone can advise on freshwater fishing up there at present......... It sounds very interesting as there's a few creeks running into it and the freshwater part of the Hacking winds around the bottom of the waterfall area as well. Those "few old blokes flicking bibless minnows" sound very much in the know and I would not be at all surprised if was Gary Brown and his mates. Regards jewgaffer PS flathead fanatic you say there's magic country down there and what a spot to fish and here's some interesting news, they're starting work on the opening up of Audley Weir in three weeks time.

Kingyfisher Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Don't discount the saltwater side of the weir for Bass I have pulled some whoppers in from there Talk to the guy at the boatshed he has some good pics Kingy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trentski Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 They were planning on upgrading the fish ladder there so if they do that it will help the bass population. I don't know what they are like on the freshwater side but you can get the odd EP on the saltwater side. Trent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastspinna Posted September 30, 2007 Author Share Posted September 30, 2007 thx for the replies guys.... thats great news about the fish ladder jewgaffer, wouldn't it be nice if the powers that be and the media devoted half the time and attention to freshwater fish migration as they do to the grey nurse issue... i had a feelin those old blokes might have been in the know.... it wouldn't surprise me if there were bass up there at all...
