Fly Fishing in Eucumbene

[huckfinn]

Hello,

I've been trout fishing a few time but i've only just recently begun flyfishing. I was wondering if anyone had any hints, tips regarding flys and techniques i should use. I will be fishing Anglers Reach at Lake Eucumbene for a day trip so will be keen to at least a get a bite on the fly. I've caught carp and redfin on fly but no trout. I have a collection of dry, wet and nymphs but will be willing to get some more if anyone knows some good ones.

Cheers, Jeremy

Hey there Jeremy,

Best advice I could give is stop in at the local tackle shops or look up their web sites. One just south of Cooma comes to mind, not sure if I can mention them in here. Even the Caravan Parks will give you info. There are a lot of fish being caught in Eucy at the moment on fly in the evening and mornings. My mate is slow retrieving nymphs in black and green at the moment and catching a few good browns and rainbows. Will be down there next week to give it a go myself. Good Luck.

Cheers mate.

I went there on Sunday and managed 5 rainbows on powerbait but none on fly. I flyfished throughout the day including morning and evening and got nothing. I tried a little brown nymph, mudeye pattern, bead head wooly bugger, matuka and Mrs Simpson.

Hi Jeremy,

I would try the Eucumbene river, which is only a short drive past Providence Portal. The river is fishing very well at the moment with some good browns being caught.

Ok CHeers, Caddis

Are they taking wets or dries?

Thanks

Hi Jeremy,

I would try a Royal wolf and nymph dropper. That should do the trick.
