Two day hike up the Pinch River. River was running high and dirty after 30-50mm of rain. Tough fishing conditions but a couple of huge trout made it worth the time!
People have to take into consideration that Covid and the rain following the drought allowed these fish to grow very quickly ! The fishing pressure and non catch release from many fisherman will bring everything into perspective as we go forward !! Pinch river is 300-400m from campsite, the temperature is a lot warmer and the food supply is there for the fish !!
It's not far from Jindabyne, I'm pretty sure it hasn't been fished that far up for quite a while - was pretty tough terrain though. Will be interesting to fish it again during summer.
prob about 8-10 km. Bit of a horse trail part of the way but can get pretty thick. You have to pick the spots you fish where it opens up a bit. Beautiful scenery though.
Hey mate, its a Orvis Clearwater 3wt 10 ft euro rod. Euro rods are generally longer with sensitive tips and stiffer butts ; feels more like a 4-5wt when fighting a fish.
Cheers, I am new to fly fishing and was wondering how you managed those large trout if you are expecting to catch small/medium size. So a 9’ 4 wt would cope? Well done, subscribed, looking forward to more of your videos 👍🏻
@@Rufus761 awesome man, I found the orvis training center to be super helpful when starting out (howtoflyfish.orvis.com/video-lessons). A 4wt 9' would be perfect on this river - can be a little bit tough if they start running down stream however i find if you keep lots of side pressure and try to point the bottom of the reel towards the fish you should be able to keep them above you.
