Dougy Ivanovic (Mr Jindy) from Melbourne with another one of his trophy brown trout. This fish was caught on fly on the Thredbo River on the 14th May 2008.

Dougy is usually seen trolling Lake Jindabyne but as all good anglers can, he is also an expert on river fishing using both fly and lure methods.

True anglers are experts on all methods of catching fish and will always change the method to suit the occasion.

Being able to read the conditions makes for a very successful angler.

Phil caught the fish in Lake Jindabyne at 11am on a size 16 Nymph, showing you can catch fish anytime if you are prepared to put a line in the water.

Karina Peck managed a massive 6 Rainbow Trout in 2 hours of fishing using downriggers at 30 feet deep. The fishing in February has been great and we expect some great catches to continue.

Big browns like this are often caught at this time of the year and some have been released from Gaden Trout Hatchery as ex-brood stock. Of course it is also the time of the year that all of the huge (up to 10 kilo plus) Atlantic Salmon are also released after they have been used for the hatchery breeding program. It is a reminder to all anglers that you have to maybe be prepared for these big fish and a good start is good quality line and a very big net!

 

Fishing in the snow often brings rewards like this 3kg Atlantic Salmon caught by Nathan Wolhuter from Canberra.

The Salmon was caught trolling using a Steve Williamson personalised number 36 Tasmanian Devil Lure.

 

Martin Mendis with a Jindabyne Grand Slam

That is catching all 4 species of fish in one fishing session.
A vary rare catch given the chances.
Brook Trout are mainly a cold weather fish caught in winter months
