Pejar Dam near Goulburn, in southern NSW, has had something of a boom-and-bust history as a trout fishery, but it's definitely on the rise again right now (not to mention fast emerging as a prime bass water!). Join me as I fish it for the first time in more than 25 years! Along the way I share some valuable tips and tactics for trout trolling and fly fishing.

back in the day saw some amazing mudeye hatches crawling over your waders, some massive browns. where I really felt the rhythm and sensitivity of casting a great sage flyrod at night.

@StarloGetsReel 9 месяцев назад

Let’s hope we see those days (and nights) again!

I grew up in Goulburn and fished Pejar often. Where the water goes into the spill over at the Goulburn end of the lake I caught some 8 pounders. Trolling in a kayak with an electric motor was also effective with a paravane and a Tassie Devil. Worms were a good bait near the boat launch area. Fly fishing was usually hard work but rewarding and the Crookwell end was the more productive area for this style of fishing. Great memories! PS It has long been ok to use electric motors.

@StarloGetsReel 9 месяцев назад

Good stuff! Yes, it was trophy fishery in the day. Let's hope it gets back to that!

Nice one Steve, it has been some years since I have fished there. I was lure fishing from the shore and took a couple of nice browns in quite shallow water. Thanks for the video!

@StarloGetsReel 9 месяцев назад

Nice one!

@michaelclark2840 4 месяца назад

Nice video Steve. Fished Pejar many times back in the day with catching some great browns. Lost all of them one time when a huge water rat chewed through the keeper bag! Just curious what sort of electric outboard you are using? Cheers.

@StarloGetsReel 4 месяца назад

Thanks for that! I run a MotorGuide Xi3.

Another great instalment Starlo. Nice healthy rainbows. Love trout fishing. Where did you get the hat? Very cool

@StarloGetsReel 9 месяцев назад

Cheers! That’s one of the new hats in the Shimano line-up.

Down the road frome home, one of my mates is a bit of an expert on pejar, he was pulling rainbows twice that size out of their last year, it's picked up heaps.

@StarloGetsReel 9 месяцев назад

Good to hear.

@guitarpicker1393 9 месяцев назад

Fished there last year.. had 3 good sized rainbows from the bank

@StarloGetsReel 9 месяцев назад

Nice!

Hi Steve, yrs ago the rainbows out of Pejar tasted like crap for some reason but last year I brought 2 home for the smoker and they were exellent. Do you know if they stocked it with browns as all I have heard about is rainbows and the odd Bass. Maybe you might like to fish Fitzroy again. I believe the carp may have taken over.. I think if you have a petrol motor on the rear you are required to put a plastic bag over the lower end to stop oil/grease getting into the water - similar rules to Googong dam near Quenbeyan

@StarloGetsReel 9 месяцев назад

Yes, Pejar fish had a bad rep' as eaters. These three smoked up okay but the flesh colour was nothing like Eucumbene rainbows. Would love to see a link or print out for the Pejar boating regs -- hard to find!

@PeachyFlyFishing 9 месяцев назад

Nice one Steve. You did better than I did! Interesting the fish seemed to be out a bit wide of the shallows and up high in the column. Wonder what they were doing out there! :)

@StarloGetsReel 9 месяцев назад

Glad you enjoyed it. Yes, they certainly weren't surface feeding though.

@MrLobstermash 9 месяцев назад

Yep, it's a tough fishery. There are some really good fish in there though. Just a lot of water between them. The bass can save a trip in the warmer months though.

@MrLobstermash 9 месяцев назад

Ps 3 fish is a pretty good haul for pejar!

@StarloGetsReel 9 месяцев назад

Keen to have a crack for the bass.
