Saladboi Posted August 13, 2020 Author Share Posted August 13, 2020 Haha all good lads. Either way, bloody cold. Appreciate the comments. Rick we’re talking hiking into the unrestricted areas that aren’t classified as general trout stream and open all year 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OZrevhead Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Hey Saladboi, how did you go with this? 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yes Dear Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Mate I use to camp and fish at Oconnell/Tarrana for years. We use to camp at the Fish River Reserve and one night it got down to -7, the condensation in the tent froze on the roof and the weight pulled the tent sides in, man that was to the bone cold. Fish River can produce some good browns and bows as does Phill's Falls and the Duck. Make sure you go down pass the red rattler if you can. We really miss camping out there it was fantastic times. We were lucky enough to know a farmer that owned most of one side of the river there from the dirt road river crossing down so ended up getting to camp in his paddocks. Now we go to Styx River at Ebor, very tight fishing hard for fly. Going for 8 days in a few weeks. another vote for stream fishing, love it and the scenery. Lots of snakes though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddyT Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Saw my first red belly of the season last week near Oberon- its wriggle stick time again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saladboi Posted September 13, 2020 Author Share Posted September 13, 2020 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddyT Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 gaiters-you will be fine , there is heaps of water up in those rivers at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yes Dear Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Mate have not been there since we moved up here nearly 10 years ago. Fish River at Oconnell/Tarana has a free camp reserve next to the river. We stayed there heaps, can get busy in school and long weekend Duckmoloi is nice place to camp but a 4WD or Subaru AWD is good to have. Things may have changed since i was there, plenty of tiger snakes! Fished the Kowmung a few times which is nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yes Dear Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Fish River pics from years ago Camping at the reserve at Oconnell next to river (pre camper trailer days).

Saladboi Posted September 15, 2020 Author Share Posted September 15, 2020 Very nice brown mate! Yeah I’ve got a Subaru so may suss our the duckmaloi. @PaddyT do you mean lots of water in the blue mountains? Coxs, little, Jenolan etc? Have you been fishing up there recently and had much luck? think I gotta stop asking questions and just get out there! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
