MORE INFORMATION

WHAT IS TROLLING?

Trolling is basically driving around in the boat with lures out in the water while we wait for the fish to bite. It is a relaxing way to fish, enjoy the day on the water in beautiful surroundings and with a bit of luck you might even catch a trout for dinner! NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY!

BOOKING GROUP SIZE

All of our tours are usually private, that is - you book yourself and bring your own party.

We do not have daily organised charters where you book as an individual and you share the booking with others. We find that personalised tours are best.

If there is only you and you want to share the cost with someone else then we will try and find someone for you to share with but it would be your responsibility to book a time and pay for the trip first.

Advantages of going alone are that your captain will also fish an extra two rods for you, so instead of fishing with just two rods you get to grab the captains rods as well (if your quick enough!)

The boat is surveyed for 8 people however we recommend that 4 people fish (that is one rod each) and group size maximum is 6. there is no guarantee we can get 6 rods into the water, you must take turns.

AGE LIMITS

There is an age limit for Children. We find that under 8 is too young to have on the boat for extended periods, due to safety reasons. 2 hour tours can be arranged for children between the ages of 5 and 8 but only if the child remains seated at all times.

BOOKING TIMES.

Most bookings during summer are either early or late in the day however we can arrange times to suit every party.

In summer tours may start at first light depending on daylight savings hours.

In winter our tours normally start at 9am and we are off the water by 4pm

BEST TIME TO FISH

We recommend that the early morning fishing and the weather is generally best at first light, however the fish may come on the bite at any time during the day so it is always a gamble.

If you’re a late starter then we recommend a luncheon or evening booking.

FISH SPECIES

Brown trout, rainbow trout, Atlantic salmon and maybe if your lucky a brook trout!

FISH GUARANTEE

We are dealing with wild animals and we can never predict how they will behave on the day.

Our catch rate on average throughout the year is one fish per hour, but you can be lucky and catch more and you can be unlucky and catch nothing!

Steve Williamson is the author of the ‘Best Seller’ ‘Trout Fishing the Snowy Mountains’ and there is no other person more capable of teaching you how to fly fishing the Snowy Mountains region. Your time spent with ‘Lake Jindabyne Trout Fishing Adventures’ will be a valuable experience you will never forget.

2012 PRICE LIST

Fly Fishing is a great way to fish and there is nothing more relaxing than standing in a stream casting a fly to a rising trout. Catching the fish is a bonus!

At ‘Steve Williamson’s Fishing Adventures’ we teach beginners and guide the experienced! Join us for a day on the water that you will never forget.

Guides are fully trained members of the ‘Professional Fishing Instructors and Guides Association’ and are very experienced on local waters.

ü      Fishing licence is included.

ü      All rods, reels,  flies, waders, fly vest and anything else you need to fish.

ü      You get to keep any legal length fish caught or you may release fish if you wish.

ü      Refreshments on tours over two hours duration.

FOR BEGINNERS - STAGE 1

Fly fishing is a sport that requires the angler to be able to cast the fly line with a reasonable degree of accuracy and gracefulness to enable the artificial fly to land on the water in a way which will not scare off the fish.

To enable an angler to do this, you must first have casting lessons and I recommend that you at least start with a 2 hour fly casting lesson to get you started. I then recommend that you purchase or hire tackle and continue to practise until you feel confident enough to go on to our 2^nd stage, a fly fishing lesson. A fly fishing lesson can be conducted on either the lake or the river.

BEGINNER CASTING LESSONS.  Prices include all tackle.

2 hours - $130.00  Private one person.

2 hours - $150.00  2 people share  (Extra person is $50 ppp2h)

3 hours extended please add another $80 for 1 person or $100 for two people)

The more people in your group the cheaper the lesson - please ask for a quote!

STAGE 2

After you have had a little casting experience, it is time to learn how to fly fish.

You can firstly learn to fish the lake (recommended) or you can learn to fish the river (slightly more technical).

When you learn to fly fish, you will be taught how to select the right fly for the conditions of the day, and then you will learn how to use that fly in an effective manner to catch fish. You will learn how to ‘read’ the water and other conditions that will affect the way the fish will feed on the particular day. What you learn in 2 hours with a professional fishing guide, would take you more than 2 years by yourself, even with the aid of books and videos.

STREAM, RIVER and LAKE CRAFT.   (Boat fishing methods also available)

For those that have already done a little casting, we also teach lake, river and steam craft.

A skill which is very necessary to be able to catch fish.

2 hours - $160.00  Private one person. (Extra people is $60 ppp2h)

3 hours - $240 .00  Private one person  (Extra person is $80 ppp3h)

The more people in your group the cheaper the lesson - please ask for a quote!

STAGE 3

After you have learnt to fly cast and had some basic instruction on fly fishing techniques, it’s time to book into an extended guided fly fishing tour!  (SEE PAGE 1 FOR PRICES)

On a guided tour, you will actually be putting into practice what you have learnt over stage 1 and 2. You will be guided through the best way to catch the trout given the ‘conditions of the day’. This is the most difficult part of fly fishing, that is, being able to make an accurate assessment on the best way to catch the fish given current conditions. You will also be guided onto different types of waters, with the emphasis on the best place to fish depending on the conditions of the day!

Again, this is the best way to speed up your fly fishing ‘career’ to give to you most success. This will result in you having the most enjoyable time of your life!

Even if you don’t catch fish, fly fishing isn’t always about catching fish, it’s about being out in the open country, relaxing and enjoying the beautiful scenery.

As they say ‘Fly fishing isn’t a sport, it’s a religious experience!’.

BOOKING GROUP SIZE

All of our tours are usually private, that is - you book yourself and bring your own party.

Bait fishing and spinning on the lake is suitable for larger groups.

It is recommended that 6 people is a maximum for river fishing.

AGE LIMITS

There is an age limit for Children. Experience has shown us that under 5 is too young for both methods of instructional fishing.

5 to 8 year olds are better taught to cast lures as bait fishing can sometimes be boring. (But casting lures can be dangerous due to the hooks. Casting plugs without hooks can be used until experience and accuracy happens.)

When bait fishing you have to sit and wait, be quite and have patience to catch fish.

We do however specialise in teaching children how to fish. (Just not necessarily catch fish!)

BOOKING TIMES.

Bookings by demand.

BEST TIME TO CATCH FISH

We recommend that the early morning fishing and the weather is generally best at first light, however the fish may come on the bite at any time during the day so it is always a gamble.

CONDITIONS OF BOOKING

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Our business is concerned with teaching you, or guiding you, in fishing and the last thing you probably feel like doing is reading about the risks and signing forms.  Our obligations these days however require us to tell you of the possible risks and dangers involved in the seemingly harmless sport of fishing, so please take time to read this form carefully and to understand the same.  If you still feel you are prepared to take responsibility for yourself and/or those under your care, whilst undertaking this fishing tour or instructive course, then we can continue on the tour/continue with the booking.

Should you feel unsure or worried about any of the items explained below, then it is best if you consider another activity and that you withdraw now.  We endeavour to reduce the risks to you as much as we humanly can.  Fishing should be a comparatively “low risk” activity.  Nevertheless there are a number of risks of physical injury you will take, if you go fishing on the water or go into in the Australian bush.  These include:-

1.         Fish Hooks/Lures/Flies - All fish hooks and fishing implements are capable of inflicting serious injury, especially when around a thrashing fish, whilst casting or retrieving or freeing any snag.  We recommend eye protection, at least in the form of strong polaroid sunglasses, which are handy for fishing anyway.  If you do not have them we can supply them at no extra cost.

2.         Treacherous terrain - Most tours involve wadding in rivers or lakes with slippery mud or rock bottoms and walking through bush land or farmland.  There are often rabbit, wombat holes, tussocks.  Some terrain is steep and slippery.  Risk of injury from stumbling, falling and tripping is always present.  You must watch your footing and always wear strong footwear, like hiking boots or sturdy thigh waders.  Gumboots are not recommended.

3.         Snakes, spiders etc -  Poisonous creatures exist in all fishing spots, remember this is the Australian bush.  Waders and full length clothing (including thick socks where appropriate) provide protection against bites.  Nothing is better however than careful observation while walking or fishing.

4.         Sunburn - any outdoor activity involves risk of sunburn.  There can be affects from strong light even on cloudy days.  Follow Anti-Cancer Council guidelines, regardless of the forecast weather.  Hats, sunscreen and sunglasses are essential.

5.         Strains and Sprains - some people find constant casting, bending and crouching causes muscular and other discomfort or injury, particularly in the legs and back.  You must exercise your judgment to ensure you stop fishing (or never start) as soon as you feel you risk injury.  If you do feel any twinge or you are uncomfortable you must stop immediately and inform us.  Often when wadding a river with sudden underwater drop offs or strong currents extra care must be taken.  If you are unsure at all do not do it.  Do not take risks.  Notify the guide of your concern at any point even if before setting off.  If you have concerns about your capacity then the guide will opt for safer fishing locations.  The guide is relying on you to inform him of any particular concerns or difficulties.  You must inform the guide before the tour starts if you cannot swim.

6.         Water and Boats - a lot of our fishing is done from a NSW Waterways Surveyed Vessel.  Every effort has been made to make this vessel as safe as it can be under NSW Waterways Regulations for a 2E surveyed vessel. It is necessary for you to obey all of the Captain’s commands.  The master of the vessel must under law take all reasonable measures to supervise and control all passengers.  You must heed the Master’s direction.  You must remain seated whilst underway.  There is no smoking and no alcohol on the boat or on tours at any time.  On occasions there are weather changes, storms or other potentially dangerous conditions.   Always request a life jacket if you cannot swim or consider the conditions dangerous or on alpine waters.  If in doubt wear your life jacket.  You must always put on your life jacket if instructed by the Master/Guide. 

7.         Alcohol /Drugs -   Alcohol consumption must be confined to the end of the day when driving, fishing and walking are completed.  You need your wits about you at all times whether on the water, wadding streams, fishing on lakes or dams and when driving/walking in and out of locations.  Alcohol consumption greatly increases the risk of injury in any fishing related activity.  Please note that we reserve the right to refuse to tour with any person that we believe is under the influence of alcohol or drugs.  Any payment made in advance will be forfeited, as it is not our fault that the person should turn up intoxicated.

8.         Medical conditions - If you suffer from any medical condition that you feel could in some way increase your risk of suffering and event or accident while fishing, please notify the guide prior to making a deposit.  If you have problems tell us.  Whilst we retain the right not to take a person fishing should we consider that they are putting themselves in danger, (and we do rely on you telling us your medical or other conditions) we will always try to tailor fishing activities to your capacity. We can cope with people, even those with disabilities, as long as we are informed in advance and tailor fishing locations and/or activities to your individual limitations.  We reserve the right to limit or restrict activities based on your known restrictions regardless of your acceptance of the risk.

9.         Dress - Warm, weatherproof clothing should always be taken and worn where necessary.  We do not undertake to supply clothing.  We can help with a request should you have any difficulty.  Please advise in advance if you anticipate requiring something that we may be able to assist with.  We also recommend that you bring a full change of clothing just in case you should accidentally fall in the water or get wet and/or cold.  Your guide has many years experience in fishing and in the Australian bush.  Please note that although he/she is trained in First Aid, he/she has no paramedical training.

Finally before signing -

The above list is not exhaustive and if you do not feel completely comfortable about accepting responsibility for yourself, please do not continue with this fishing tour.

Other points:

(a)        Always check that you are covered for a NSW Angling Licence.  You may be covered whilst on tour but otherwise licences are freely available from fishing tackle stores and the Department BCD

Waiver:-

I acknowledge that I have been given a risk warning with the terms of Section 5M of the Civil Liabilities Act 2002 (NSW) and that this form contains a Waiver in terms of Section 5N of that Act.

I acknowledge and agree that due to the nature of the activity, it would be unreasonable for the guide or the Company to be in any way responsible for any injury or death. To the full extent permitted by law the Client waives all of his/her legal rights of action against and fully releases the guide/Company for loss or damages for injury or death however arising out of or in relation to the participation by me in the activities conducted or organised by the guide/Company including, without limitation, liability for any negligent or tortious act or omission, breach of duty, breach of Contract or breach of Statutory Warranty on part of the guide or the Company, its office bearers, Directors, employees or agents.  In the case of the person who is incapable or who is a minor the execution of this form by a parent or legal personal representative is accepted as a risk warning to the person concerned and the execution by such parent or legal personal representative is a waiver by the person concerned.
