Below you will see some of the latest photos of the current conditions on the lakes and rivers in the Snowy Mountains area.

Widening of Boat ramp June 2010

Looks a lot greener than 19th Oct.

Boat ramp area 19th October 2009.

Plenty of water and the lake is still rising.

 

Boat Ramp July 15th 2009

Work is being carried out to extend ramp.

Ramp will be open to use again on the 25th July 2009

 

Plenty of water coming down the Thredbo River.

Photo taken after storms on the 30th October, the snow level went from 1 metre at Spensors Creek to 500cm over a few days due to warmer conditions and storms.

Dave Wilson with a few nice brown trout caught trolling. May 2008

Look for Yabby banks for the best fishing.

Planer boards get the lures into the edges where the fish are holding out.

 

The old catholic church steps are out of the water again allowing people visit this historic site. Be careful if boating in this area as there are lots of rocks and trees just under the water.

Steve's duel hook rig for Tassie Devils


 


10th August also saw major dust storms over Jindabyne caused by the strong winds of up to 130 kph.


 

10th August 2007 saw wind gusts up to 130kph hit the area and it was just plain dangerous to be in the open. If you look closely at this photo you will see one of Snowline Holiday Parks hire boats upside down on their marina. One gust of wind did this.

Plenty of small fish rising when I was there in Feb 2007

one of the 7 rainbows caught trolling in early May 2007 between 1 and 3pm on a sunny afternoon.
No way low lake levels is affecting the fishing!

Solar Powered Polycraft.

This is what it would take to run the Polycraft on solar power. An experiment with Solartec industries.
