Another trip into the hills

Another trip out west, across the Blue Mountains, but this time decided to do an overnighter instead. We wanted to check one spot before the weather got ridiculously hot. It’s a section of the Fish river last time I fished it was probably 4 or 5 years ago. So we wanted to give it a good crack read more

Day Trip – Central West

Pretty good day out in the Central West, NSW. We started off with throwing some dry flies but after an hour on the water noticed that river is running a bit high and murky and that not much surface activity happening. After we changed our dry flies and put squirmy or bright coloured bead head nymph read more

Season Opener – Snowies

Here’s some photos I took during the season opener weekend down in the Snowy Mountains. We managed to fish two different rivers having a  pretty good success landing a mixed bag of rainbows and browns. Mostly just smaller size trout that were not that keen on taking our dries, so we only managed read more

Blue Mountains Rainbows

Here’s my recent video that I shot over a few fishing days in Autumn last season in the Blue Mountains. Fishing was red hot, trout smashing grasshoppers with an eager and aggression most times. So I took my chances to capture some of the eats on film and it turned out pretty good I think. Please take a look and I hope you’ll enjoy the short film.

South Coast sambos

Catching a so called Australian Salmon wading the flats of the South Coast NSW has been on my list for a few years now. It’s not that easy to find an inlet or an estuary where they’re easily accessible within a cast of a fly rod. These fish tent to move up and down the beach or a river read more

Winter trout part 2

For the second winter hiking trip I decided to go to the same river I went couple weeks ago, but a bit further down stream to a more familiar access spot this time. The hike was much easier but also much longer too. Weather has been warming up for the last week or so, and it wasn’t clear if read more

Winter trout part 1

One might think that winter time is a down time for trout fishermen. But fortunately not for the really keen ones. After many years planning on going to this river and after some peoples advices for some access spots I tied some winter patterns, bought a new sleeping mattress and headed deep into read more

Winter lake fishing and camping

After a short break and a little bit of hibernation during winter months, especially after getting so cold on the last trip down to the Snowies, it was the time to head up to the Blue Mountains and try my luck on the lakes there. I decided to drive up on Saturday night, spend the night camping in read more

Eucumbene river – Take Two

Considering pretty reasonable success I had in my previous trip, I thought we’ll sneak another quick one in just before the season closes to get the last trout fix. Forecast was clear – heavy snow above 2000m. I thought we’re pretty okay with the rivers running through lower areas read more

A way overdue Snowies trip

It took way too long to do a trip to the Snowies after the last one which was way back in summer. This time the weather has changed drastically compared to the previous trip, night time temperatures dropping way below zero. I did some exploring around Blue Pool caves and Yarrangobilly area and some read more
