With the closure of the Eucumbene River over the past long weekend things have been hectic converting the shop to Snowerks and all that snow based stuff. The closure saw some nice fish still being caught but at some stages it was hard to get a spot on the river to fish. Rain and snow caused some people some discomfort but not the "skulldragger" John Palombit who managed a very nice Rainbow much to his brother Dennis's displeasure as John was not backward in letting him know who was the better fisherman, surprisingly though he did let me net the fish for him and why he has a picture to show he caught it.

Andy Dawes also hooked up to a couple of screamer Browns in the Lake up Frying Pan end. One at 4kg and the other at 2.7kg, see pics below, and interestingly the 4kg fish makes the other look rather small !!!!

The Lake is producing good Rainbows for the trollers who brave the elements

With lake dropping slowly best bait is either Bardie grubs or worms .

Trolling is still a good option at the moment, weather permitting, we saw some people push their luck on the weekend in bad conditions, remember though no fish is worth your life or that of those that have to go out looking for you.
