Mad dog Dave has arrived and departed.

We tried Tantangara three times and once at 2 Gates during his stay.

Fishing has been very tough up here at the moment unless fishing out of a boat.

Several reports from the rivers have been promising small fish caught.

An abundance of small grass hoppers are moving all over Tantangara we should have an excellent late January/ early Feb.

Dave receiving some instructions from the locals whilst up at Tantangara.








Note Joey giving me instructions on fly casting " keep your elbow in John"

She was that close that I had to adjust fly  casting angle as I would have hooked her.










We had to exercise care getting to Tantangara till Parks cleared tree.

Note road just being graded.










Night time our tree.



Regards  John

A very good roll up for our little club.

Fish only around the 40 cm mark that were caught,

Greened up and  Tantangara around 40 %.

Some large groups of tiny grass hoppers which should be ideal late January I came across

Road work commenced last Friday.

I put in the hard yards flyfishing till 10 .30pm  calm , still and warm,  one hit and a well conditioned brown handed to a visitor from Canberra to be smoked for  Christmas .

Regards John


eleven members camped I travelled daily.

Just had to keep an eye out for the wild life on the way home.

A selection of rabbits wild horse they had some wild dogs visit numerous kangaroos wombats
and the odd owl picked up in the lights leaving the trees  over hanging the road.







Dam wall I do not think I have previously featured it.



Water up to the tree/ bush line a lot of grass under water



We were on the other side of the point.

Hope to check out Tantangara this week have a couple of visitors staying for a fortnight to do battle.
they both like to do Fly fishing more than spinning so the grassy  banks and rising water at Tantangara should be perfect..

Will provide some photos of water height. and perhaps the odd fish or two.

Had a quick trip to Tantangara yesterday, left early but mate intended staying to fly fish.

Awaiting on a report to see how he went.

Boats being launched from edge of lake as still rising, nobody seemed to be having any trouble

Gates will open by next weekend provided snow is not forecast.
Did not see any fish being caught whilst there but in middle of day , bright did spook one trout walking around edges ,plenty of shallow water.
Grasses and bushes all on edge of lake.

Will be popular next weekend around 11/12 cars there this weekend that we could see.

Basic boat ramp / road under water limited parking facilities and you need to back, back around  three hundred yards to reach the water.

Road in rough just need to adjust travelling speed and then no problems


Regards John




Late Foot note


Portal Dropping according to photos on facebook

A facility I have no knowledge of, received a report from a mate in Tassie about 5 minutes ago.





Water well up in small valley where creek enters dam water level was previously level with telegraph pole a good indicator how much the water levels has risen








Prior to dam filling vehicles  were driving to island that was when around 20% now 51.6 %

JKR that is  how I intend to use it.

Weight maybe  the only issue .

I watched an elderly gentleman back in the mid sixties use a very long bamboo pole and fish the same way the only other person I have ever seen use that technique.

The pole was that long I thing he left it  hidden on the river bank.

Martin and Chris
A good result for the area. It will stop a lot of  boat visitors driving away in disgust and prevent a  fair amount of bogged vehicles.
As the lake is so low we now have just over 70 metres of useful ramp to use till we  move over to the main ramp.


Regards John

Registered the ute in Cooma yesterday passed two cement trucks on the road in and a third had stopped to get fuel.

Checked when I returned and they were just finishing up on the job.

Pictures of the jig  creating the non slip facility.

Hit with several sledge hammers.

Regards John














For local regular  visitors it starts around 24ft from old church steps where I took the photo.

Cement work not started yet probably cement trucks not available.
Perfect weather for us , we finally cracked a 20 C day for around an hour before it dropped now 4c

Settle Dave ...you will start spooking the fish.

First time in many months a slight increase in the Lake water level noticed.

BOM recorde 10.6 for lake Eucumbene

and great news Tantangara has shot up to 46 %

Some light  rain received Friday and snow melt has   helped the situation.
Did about 9 klms yesterday walking up to to Anglers Reach from Two gates.

Took a number of photos.

Regards John

Finally the form work has been completed.

 Pouring may commence tomorrow subject to weather.       Raining at the moment.

Appears we are getting about 45 metres in length which will butt up to the previous ramp poured around 2006 /2007.

It will be about 20 ft short of the old church steps  known to the regular visitors to the area when the Lake drops.

Bridge is well out of the water now and I would guess we should be able to get to it in the next 2/3 weeks.

Regards John

The local Adaminaby Fishing Club  (I am treasurer) has secured enough funds to add 40 metres to the existing cement slab added when the lake was at a similar level around 2006 /2007.

Will be very helpful when the Lake rises again for all you visitors  hopefully preventing further bogging putting in your boats.
Work commences later this week.

Hope to place pictures up later in the month.
