NaClH2OK9 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Hi Raiders. The end of the month will see my late fathers fly gear arrive in Australia. ( he passed a decade ago but I didn't bring it over when I emigrated) Although I'm a passionate salt water fisho my fly experience is limited to a few trips to stocked lakes in the Welsh hills. I don't realy know my gear that well as it was only used a few times before moving but have a couple of rods from short stream / Brook outfits to bigger two handed salmon outfits. And a bunch of flys that are probably Irelavent here I'd like to find somewhere in the shire if possible to try for a trout? If you can share any spots or give up an hour or a morning to advise I'd realy appreciate it. Thanks Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest no one Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Ohhhh if you find a place count me in Steve! I miss standing waist deep in rivers casting boobies, nymphs, stun bugs, dandruff flies and many more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boattart Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Just as a thought you could try the sandflats off Darook Park for whiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NaClH2OK9 Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 It's a great suggestion mark. And I'm sure I'll take this to salt water fly a little later. But just for now this is a bit of a nostalgia thing for me. I've a desire to have leafy trees overhead and the Babble of water over rocks. Or the sound of wood pigeons whilst the mist rises over the meadows around me. Well perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 There is no trout fishing within a hundred clicks of the shire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NaClH2OK9 Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 Realy, all the fresh water tributaries ( I was going to put a question mark but it's not a question if you say there not there). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luderick -angler Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Swordy I can put you into a resident population of browns in the Nepean! Reason you rarely see them is they are bottom dwellers in very deep water and rarely rise if they do its on last light or very early mornings when water surface temps are cool they are yabby munchers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Heard a rumour that those Browns were being hammered by some cowboys. Jealous your heading up to Tumut, I am going to take a look at the Eucumbene this weekend to see if there are any Browns moving up yet. Heard its been very tough again.

NaClH2OK9 Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 I was going to say. Clearly I need to travel a bit further which is not a problem. It is trout that I'm wanting to target. Thanks for all the advice so far. Pm on its way luderick-angler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luderick -angler Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Matt there was a small run up there a week ago I would check the Thredbo they are forecast rain there there's a lot of fish stacked in providence bay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel944 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 The closest system that holds trout to the shire would be the wollondilly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lutha Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Hi Steve I do the same thing, fishing with late old mans gear. Catching fish means nothing compared to firing bait into the sea from his Alvey reel, or catching a trout using a fly he tied himself. Enjoy every minute mate Lutha.

NaClH2OK9 Posted April 16, 2015 Author Share Posted April 16, 2015 (edited) Thanks for all the help guys. I've had a couple of absolute gun pm's and big offers for help. My old man's gear may see an Aussie trout yet!!! Edited April 16, 2015 by NaClH2OK9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Matt there was a small run up there a week ago I would check the Thredbo they are forecast rain there there's a lot of fish stacked in providence bay Saw some reports about an early run, although there wasn't a lot of rain in the mountains themselves. The monaro copped a hammering but not up top. Might have a look at the Thredbo as well. Its my first session for the year, need to put away my Flathead Hat and find my Trout Hat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
