Lake Jindabyne Trout Fishing Report. 27th January 2012
To see some of the latest photos please click here. Photos of current lake conditions click here. NEWS Not a lot of change to the overall fishing conditions since the last report. The weather has warmed up a little with a few days near 30 degrees, but the lake temperature still hovers around 19 degrees, so still cooler that past seasons. The boat trolling has been a little slower however we are still catching plenty trout even though we are now fishing a lot deeper. There has not been any heavy rain, except for a few storms, so rivers and streams are in good fishing condition and with more ‘bugs’ about now there is plenty of dry fly action. Bait fishing on the lake has been OK in the morning and evening. Fly has been good also in the bays early or late. If you want the most up to date information you need to call into my shop or check out our new facebook page with daily updates. You can also WIN prizes http://www.facebook.com/pages/Steve-Williamsons-Lake-Jindabyne-Trout-Fishing-Adventures/286736598024666 Post your photos with a trout and a Tasmanian Devil or Rapala lure and win prizes in our weekly best fish competition. LAKE LEVEL and TEMPERATURE The lake level is at 81% and steady. The temperature today was 19.5 degrees. Best methods to catch a trout. Best method – Boat trolling deeper water. Best lake lure –Y50 Tasmanian Devil and brown trout and Spotted Dog Rapalas are now doing well. Best lake area – Waste Point area, East Jindy Islands and the South Arm. Best fly method lake – Black Woolly Bugger and Williamson’s Goldfish. Best River Fly Fishing– Dry fly on the Thredbo River. Beetle, Hopper and caddis patterns Best River Lures – Thredbo River. Celtas, Gillies Feathertails and Bendbacks and gold Rapalas. Let’s have a look at what the fishing is going to be like over the next few weeks. Trolling.Start the day and surface troll in the shallows early (till 7am) with minnow lures like Rapalas and then later in the morning change to 13 or 20 gram Tasmanian Devils. Best colour is greens and golds or on overcast days try the Holographic or the yellowing Brown Bomber number 48 Tasmanian Devil. Downrigging certainly has improved, with trout down from 35 to 50 feet. Plenty of rainbows with the occasional brown thrown in. Lake Bait Fishing(Primarily most rivers and streams in the Snowy Mountains Region are fly and lure only, We recommend that you first check with the Department of Industry and Investment NSW (NSW Fishing rules) as to which rivers in the area you can legally bait fish in. IF IN DOUBT DON’T BAIT FISH in the RIVERS!)Shore based bait fishing continues to be good and over the last week the fishing has been good with bardi grubs and powerbait the best. Scrubworms for the big browns. Artificial salmon eggs are still good on the lake in deeper water. Best areas for bait fishing at the moment have been, Waste Point area, The Claypits, Hatchery Bay, Town Centre in front of Banjo Patterson Park and The Snowy Arm. Lake SpinningLure spinning has still been good and there are trout about and the best fishing is in the shallows early and deep water later in the middle of the day. The Tasmanian Devil Y50, Y82 and Y48 have both been good and so is the Holographic. Minnow lures like floating Rapalas, Stumpjumpers and other minnow style lure in either natural rainbow trout and brown trout patterns or gold colours to represent the Jindabyne goldfish that the trout love to chase and eat. Don’t stay in one place too long and only put in a couple of casts in each area. Shallow areas try Gillies Feathertails and Tailwalkers which are new products worth a look. Some new lures to try in the dark are the new glow Blue Fox Vibrax spinners. Charge them up with a torch or camera flash and watching them spin through the water is incredible, trout are very inquisitive and often hit the lure hard. Jaz Raza Blade 40 in Gold is also a must in your box of tools. Call into my shop and I will show you some of the better soft plastics that we are having great success on over the last week. River Spinning The Thredbo has been fishing well with plenty of fish in the lower reaches. Celtas and Gillies Bendbacks and Feathertails will be good but other lures working well are Vibrax Blue Fox, Wodens Rooster Tail sonics and Blue Fox Super Minnow in yellow or blue. Minnow lures like the brown and rainbow trout pattern Rapalas are also good. In deeper and bigger pools try some of the metal blades hat we have in my shop. We will help out with the best colours and they best way to use them to get results. Fly Fishing LakeFishing the small bays and inlets should get some results very early and late in the day if you’re careful not to spook the trout. Woolley Buggers, Craig’s Night time and Williamson’s Goldfish have been the flies well worth using at dawn and dusk. The shallow bays on the lake are worth a try early before the sun rises but after that you had better be fishing deep. Fly fishing Rivers and Streams Dry fly is now good especially in the top streams. Caddis patterns are also worth a look with Stimulators also good. The Thredbo has been consistent and there are less people fishing now so the fish are not so spooky. Plenty of hatches for the evening rise enthusiasts. Hopper season has now started.
