Lake Eucumbene is looking awesome at the moment and still on the rise be it ever so slow at the moment 53.5% and hopefully will continue to rise for the next month or so that is the unofficial word around town.The fishing over the last month or so has been the best for years and still is. The midge are still everywhere and so are the fish with some small hoppers starting to show up over the last week or so and mudeyes are also on the move just need a couple of warm nights and the lake will really fire up.

The midge feeding fish may appear to a little tough to work out but I think if you fish in the top water with a small size 14 black nymph with a small bit of foam attached to keep the fly up you will get results most times this works best in the ripple water I have found. Another fly worth giving a go is stick caddis very slow retrieve

Trolling;

The trolling has been hard work over the last week maybe due to the changing weather patterns and the fact that the fish are either in very close or down very deep downrigger time or snap weights on leadcore. Very strange bite times also 11am till 2pm and best time for trolling also 7.30pm until 10pm and in close during this time

Bait Fishing;

Pretty simple Mudeye's or Scrub Worms also if you feel a bit adventuress try using a bubble float and behind it a Woolly Bugger or Mudeye pattern it does work with a very slow wind of the handle

Living the dream and loving it
