The Thredbo River looking fantastic.

Only 1 metre below the level the lake was at last Christmas 2010
and the lake is still rising.

The fast rising water level last week, after the rain and
storms caught some people out.

13th November 2011
Water is still covering the car park at Discovery Holiday
Parks. |
15th October after the water level was dropped.
Water level should now start to rise again as the snow
continues to melt. |
This shallow bank near the boat ramp has the weed to the edge
and plenty of bugs for cruising trout.
Fishing has been very good despite the water level dropping.

Water is still high in the lake at 79% even after the water
release down the Snowy River over Easter. |

Fog is always a problem in Autumn and early winter. Be careful
of other water users! |

THREDBO RIVER
24th September 2010
After some good floods down the river over this past winter
the river is in pristine condition and with the opening of the
river fishing season on the 2nd October there should be some
great fishing over the coming months. |
 |
With still plenty of snow yet to melt in the mountains,
the lake level has yet to rise a lot more yet. Currently 70%
level the water is covering new ground rapidly and we should see
some fantastic fishing over the coming season.
Fly anglers in particular, will have a fantastic time over
this summer fishing the lake margins! |

Water
release into the Snowy River
Today Monday 20th September we
saw a release of water into the lower Snowy River in preparation
for future increased releases from Lake Jindabyne into the Snowy
River.
Snowy Hydro
conducted a large scale test of the Jindabyne Dam Water Release
Valves. It was reported this could result in a rise in water
levels further down the river by up to 1 metre.
It is not
expected to have a major impact on the water level of Lake
Jindabyne because the release will only last for about 6 hours.
|
Finished extension to boat ramp early September 2010. |
By 14th September 2010 water had covered most of the new gravel
and the lake looks fantastic. |

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. |

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.

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.

No way low lake levels is affecting the
fishing!
