LAKE JINDABYNE

​

Spring fishing is coming around, a good time for polaroiding & sight fishing around the lake edge & non spawning rivers, as the days start to get warmer. Productive areas are where trout are looking for food in shallow bays in the evenings & the river inlets, where they will be coming down river, back to the lake. Polaroiding should improve into September as it starts to get a little warmer & introduce some hatches & ermergers. Bait fishing has reasonable on Powerbait Chunky Cheese & Orange, Salmon eggs & unweighted worms in the more protected bays, casting with the wind. Pan size Brown & Brook trout are having a go at naturals, red & orange colours in hard bodies & Tasmanian Devil lures off the edges. Soft plastic yabbie patterns are productive off structure & rocky outcrops, recent catches around Creel Bay & Curiosity Rocks.

FLY FISHING​

​

Spring fly fishing sees sight casting around the lake edge in the morning & evening when small rises & swirls are visible. Smaller cicada patterns can be very effective as it offers a smaller mouthful size for trout. Natural wet flies & streamers in weedy bays has seen results, patterns with a little bit of flash as well. Keep an eye on the weather systems, as some days can be calm overnight & into the morning & become windy in the afternoon. This can stir up the muddy edges providing feeding grounds for trout. Keep an eye on the barometer, 1020-1080Kpa is ideal. When the barometer is rising trout will tend to feed more in the shallows. Low & high pressure systems can mean the difference between catching fish & not seeing a trout all day.

​

TROLLING

​​​​

Trolling around the shallows & deep runs near the Thredbo, Snowy & Eucumbene river inlets can be productive in the mornings, these places are where trout are looking an early meal. Try a UV fingerling pattern Rapala lures & Tassie Devil lures with bold patterns & spots, natural spawning colours for hard bodies.

​

KAYAKING

 

Flatlining small hard-bodies around the shallows & around the Islands can be productive in the morning from 6am & mid to late afternoon. 7g Tasmanian Devil lures in oranges, black, silver & golds tend to work the best. Bright coloured hard bodies down deeper using snap weights can be effective later in the morning.
