Lake Jindabyne JUNE 2016

Recommended Posts

Been a while since I’ve posted & been a while since I went for a fish due to newborns.

Stewy did warn me, "do not have kids, they will ruin your fishing adventures" :chair: I should have listened!

Finally managed to escape from the family & headed to Lake Jindabyne.

Arriving Friday morning the temperature was pretty warm at 8-10 degrees at night.

Love my light fishing gear, all fish caught on 4kg rod, 1000 Reel, 4lb line and 4lb leader.

Managed to score a healthy Brown during sunrise on a J7 Rapala measuring 55cm.

During daytime, scored my first Brook Trout, caught on Power bait measuring 42cm.

Gorgeous fish, first time I’ve seen and held one.

Following morning on Saturday, got a smaller Brown on J7 Rapala, 35cm & scored a beauty Buck Brown measuring 60.5cm at 5 pounds. Returned the Buck back in the water to pass on its DNA.

Saturday late morning the weather turned & the rains hit, followed by the wind.

Fishing was useless BUT we managed to crank the spit.

In the evening the wind eased off, scored another Brown measuring 45cm on J7 Rapala.

Sunday morning got a 44cm Brown on a 60mm Squidy plastic and missed another.

Had a ball, fishing was amazing, Trout were hitting the lures, plastics and Powerbait.

Heading home, did not realise NSW/QLD got smashed with high winds, heavy rains, and floods etc, what a disaster.

Now that's a great report on the Jindabyne.

Well done on the Brook Trout.

Love the pictures with the unfolding story of a cold, windy day by the lake followed by what looks like

a rolled pork roast on the spit .... that is absolute gold!

Cheers

Jim

Stayed at Lake Jindabyne park

Got back from the Thredbo on Monday night. Fished the river only with fly after getting the heads up the rain put a run of fish up the river. Camped in minus 7 at the diggings (sits at 1200m) we ended up landing and releasing a dozen Browns from the river below the road bridge! Good times biggest fish was 8lb and all sight fishing

Top looking Brookie, love those fish! Did you put that report up on Alpine Anglers site Joco? The current fishing report has a Brookie of 42cm that looks a lot like your cracker.

Cheers
