Fly Fishing an ICONIC High Country River 

Beautiful mate, it’s a special place. :)

Cheers Cory! :)

Thanks Rob! Yeah it can be a challenge to wade for sure… :)

Thanks Shane! Yeah it's a great river! :)

Thanks mate! Wish I could’ve been there, how was it?

Ah, thanks mate! Yes they are gorgeous fish in there, was a nice mix of browns and rainbows too. I was too high up for the spawning fish, they had a late run of rainbows lower down in the river, but the ones I found were very pleasing....All good here thanks, hope you're doing well too! :)

Thanks Pete! Yeah it’s special for me too for the same reasons. :)

Thanks!

Haha, yep! 😆

Gday! Hey I’m not really sure about lines less than $100, there probably are some but I’m not familiar with them so can’t really offer any advice…these days I use the Rio lines which are excellent, the new coatings are great and the tapers just work really well for me. Sorry I can’t offer any more useful advice! :)

Thanks! :)

AH sorry for some reason I only just saw the question about the net, it's made by a company called Mclean, it's called the Mclean Angling Spring Folding Weigh Net. Hope that helps! :)

Thanks mate, yeah it’s a magic spot that’s for sure! :)

Great stuff Nick, good luck!

Ah excellent, thanks Pat! The rod holder is called an o’pros third hand, I’ll post a link: bwcflies.com.au/product/opros-3rd-hand-rod-holder/

Thanks! I haven’t come across salmon and brookies in the river, but I have caught them in the dam at Jindabyne. The salmon generally are a bit skinny and out of condition and mainly small, but there are some large ones in there. The brookies I’ve caught have generally been smallish too, cool fish though! I think the best place to get brookies is up at 3 mile dam though, plenty of them in there. :)

Cheers Jonny! Getting to work on our one next… ;)

Thanks mate! Yeah it was nice to get back on there again!

Thanks Rob! Yep euronymphing is deadly on the Thredbo, it can be a difficult river as it's very clear and gets a fair amount of pressure. Would be happy to take you out nymphing some time and show you the ropes, no problem. Nice to see in your recent video that you met Nathan and Rebecca too, they are both mates from the competition scene, very good anglers. I'll be down in Tassie for 3 weeks or so, maybe catch up for a fish when I get back in December. :)

It’s a McLean Folding Weigh Net. :)

Thanks mate! Yeah its a lovely spot, ps. new camera is going great! :)

You batteries should be in soon 😉

@JPMVisuals haha good stuff! I think I need to buy a 2nd one soon, camera has been fantastic. Worlds apart from the GoPros….

Absolutely, image quality & stabilization is amazing, and they don’t usually freeze up like the newer GoPro’s do.

Exactly!

Pleasure mate, thanks for the kind words!

@@PeachyFlyFishing all good. Btw, thanks for the heads up 🆙 on the supurb xp a while back. Obviously pretty nerve wracking buying $$ rods without casting them. Haven’t put it away this season so far…what a joy to use! Your take on it is spot on!

@anthonyclark6118 ah that’s great mate! Yeah it’s a great rod!

@@PeachyFlyFishing I’ve thrown a lot of different methods at it. Does it all very very well. Would say both contact and dry fly it struggles with accuracy at longer distances. But at shorter range…second to none !

Thanks Greg, you too mate! :)
