Report for 8 March 2010 |
|
Col is back today after his New Zealand "holiday" so be sure to call in and pester him for the stories and look at his large amount of photos.
Fishing on Lake Eucumbene is exceptional at the moment and regular visitor Yogi is picking up Rainbows trolling that are in absolutely great shape. Recent rains seem to be putting the fish on the chew with influx of water from the rivers.
Trolling is proving to be an anytime is good with the best area being up around Benefield and the power lines.
Mark Fountain (Eucumbene Fishing Charters ) is still in form of late and doing well with Copper Mine, Crowes, Springwood, Frying Pan, Tolbar and Benefield his best spots at the moment.
Bait fishing is still braining them with Mudeyes andbest areas being Coppermine, Collingwood, Yens bay, Homeleigh Bay, Seven Gates and Frying Pan.
Eucumbene River is also producing at the moment due to an increased abundance of food of late courtesy of recent rains and warm days. |

Trolling |
|
The trolling is at its best at the moment with results anytime of the day. Flat lines & 2-3 colours of leadline proving to be best option.
Lofty's in Eucumbene Special seems to be the most consistent at the moment on leadline (2-3 colours) and flat lines (~50m).
Best areas have been Benefield, Coppermine, White Rocks, Collingwood, Frying Pan, Springwood Bay, Showground Point, Crows,Tolbar and the power lines.

Bait Fishing |
|
Power bait with Mudeyes or Bardie Grubs is producing fish, so pop in and see me.
Put the Bardie Grub on the bottom and float the Power bait on top.
Best areas still are in and around the Grace Lea Island, Seven Gates, Collingwood, Coppermine, Frying Pan and just about anywhere you can drop a line in. Basically anywhere where there is a grassy bank leading into the water.
