Finally 15cm of snow on the hills received last night.
Just another fishy story.
Had a loop on the spool casting into the wind last night and had to hand lined a brown (54cm) caught on Chris's lure, due to I think wave action , (I was not watching lure at that stage) snagged on a limb, on the way in, fished jumped about and released himself and saved lure. Photographed and released. This evening -2 fresh, cold , finger tips red raw nailed a nice 50 cm brown in the shallows on Pete's Hazmail Lure. Hard to film with strong cold wind blowing white bag blown everywhere.. Regards John    |

-9 in Cooma this morning.
A little " Fresh" on the Lake this arvo saw one other fishing a visitor from Canberra he came across for a chat from a sheltered area and had a look at my 50.5cm brown which was in good nick and a slightly smaller rainbow. Appears a car might have got bogged near the boat ramp with the light activity we saw just before dark. Caught the brown on one of Per's lures after I "miss placed" snagged a lure on a hidden branch. Fingers red raw after cleaning in the conditions. By the end of the week should recover it at the rate the Lake continues to drop. Two trout in the conditions was not bad, for a young fellow, certainly too rough for boating. Per just cannot stretch them up to your sizes yet, but still try trying. Regards John  |

Looks like a desert instead of a lake now John...and that's one hungry trout with that much in its gut. Hope your fingertips don't fall off one day.

don,t know anything about the area/lake but how does the water level rise and fall so much. is it for irrigation or snow melt after winter? would there be fish kills with so much rise and fall?.....mick

Mick for some reason the Snowy prefers to fluctuate Lake Eucumbene heavily for their working needs.
Like power. irrigation. town water. Forgot to put these pictures up. An improved turning circle for boats at Tantangara for now, visited the area yesterday. No snow at all in that area due to our very very mild winter. Very useful for the the water level at the moment. As it rises no doubt they will continue to add further improvements. A bonus for all of us at the moment bought about by the feasibility study under way on our energy requirements for the future, which Tantangara water supply could take a very important part. Not sure how very large falls in water levels and then sudden increases will effect the fish. First photo bottom right hand corner deadly LURE snags. All my fish lately have been caught in the shallows and the chest wadders assist in recovering lures. I get called upon by some visitors to recover their lures as well. Bought nine 1-3 kg rods waiting on the last two to arrive, they have certainly assisted me in casting these light lures in the strong winds. (Testing them at he moment to find out which best suits my requirements) Many casts, need to be into or side on to the wind. Last three week since weather has started to get windy.   |

You been busy John testing those 9 rods out and I am assuming they are different brands?
Tantangara looks good and windy too. Also that picture with the utes looks like the spot where I got my first rainbow, You know John the blind rat

Spot on Dave.
You might remember how narrow the road was, and if launching a boat you needed to back back around 600- 700 metres Several tried and gave up. You can pick this up in the bottom photo. I was very pleased with a 7ft rod and ordered a further two. Already received and a mate ordered one and he is waiting on its delivery probably today. Regards John

Photo taken on old rusted boiler . No dry surface close to waters edge. BOM 29 % Lake eucumbene Bloody seagull stole the medium yabbies whilst I went back to the bag to get a photo. 3/2/3 Caught three released two lost three (trying barbless treble hooks.) In strong winds fishing in shallows. That is a piece of rust centre of picture after seagulls left. Hands bloody from cleaning 56cm brown  Seemed to be plenty of mud in the stomah Am I missing something, Regards John |

Sure it's mud John? Unless the fish was scooping a mouthful of soft mud to get at a yabby hiding in it?

Quick trip to Canberra Sunday Pete (Hazmail) was kind enough to shape and organize a pair of small spilt-ring pliers. Thanks Pete. Tools and I do not get along.
Returned to the Lake today the weather a little crisp, (gloves required) strong south easterly winds started late in the arvo. Had a long walk three hours and one hit. Caught my best conditioned Brown for some months. A 59 cm Brown on Per's lure. Used a 7ft2" two piece Sambo rod with unusual reel winch received in the mail this morning. (Bought off eBay). I believe it only became available in Mid July . Anybody looking for a rod to toss light lines and light lures should check it out. A very fine tip early days for me and not sure what punishment it can take, have ordered a spare in case it does not last the distance. Bom says Lake down to 28%. Regards John Very deep in the back and great colour.  Per still not up to your standards yet. ( MK 1) Could not stretch her into the 60 cm range. A non breeder this year.  |

The first of the fronts have arrived ,just rain at the moment ,snow Friday night and onwards . (hopefully)
A visitor from Canberra and I braved the elements I caught 2, released two and lost two. My new mate in the light rain had only one strike, and caught a lovely 63 cm brown in excellent condition,very deep in the back. (A very happy chappy) Second photo covers boat owners nightmares. Fence wire and missed placed lure Regards John   |

You are so right Danny.
Dropped the laptop they do not bounce back like they used to. Screen dead. Son showed me how to use the TV screen as an interim measure.
Had a good outing in the rough conditions today First time I have caught two trout over 60cm in the one day.60, 63, early 50's all released (long and thin) kept a 41.6cm brown for smoking in good order. Three groups out in the conditions two sheltering out of the winds . did not see any fish caught other than mine. Sleet and rain arrived wind got stronger everybody retired at the same time. Yesterday was rougher spray lifted off the white caps winds were blowing between 35-45 according to BOM no doubt reached higher when the gusts went through. .Nobody else was in attendance in my area yesterday nor did anybody attempt to launch a boat, just too dangerous Shallow and more hidden snags appearing Lake just under 28 % now Snow down to the 700 metre mark in the next day or so according to BOM. I will need to do a bit more walking to avoid bogging Blowing a gale outside at the moment and solar sensor lights reacting to the strong winds .Finally a decent bit of rain for us. Most of the strikes are in the brown dirty shallow water not sure if they are following the lure and striking or are already hunting in close, hard to tell. Regards John   then a front arrived and wind dropped.  |

Liked those pic's of the mud John, the old ''windward shore'', its hard work sometimes but can produce when it's cold (no bugs around) --for summer trout, I think its the opposite.
Nice looking fish too. Pete |
