Safety first:
Given the water inflows and outflows it’s not surprising that water levels in Lake Jindabyne vary considerably so caution is recommended. Also Lake Jindabyne is a true alpine lake and it is not unusual for several seasons to play out in the one day or even over a few hours.
- Keep an eye on the weather and always know where your going to retreat to.
- Let others know where your going to be fishing and your timetable.
- Always wear a life jacket. It’s compulsary to wear a life jacket in all alpine lakes when ina boat less that 5 meters long … that includes canoes and kayaks.
- Never wear thigh waders in the boat particularly if your fishing by yourself.
- Take plenty of spare warm clothes and wet weather gear.
- Mobile phone reception is limited so don’t think that it will work all the time.
- Only fish Jindabyne in suitable craft. This is not a venue for little dinghies with low sides.
- Always be on the lookout for submerges rocks, trees and fences and in times of rising weather also keep an eye out for floating timber.
- Don’t think for a moment that you know the lake. Water levels are changing all the time and consequently where obstructions were below your propeller yesterday they can be right in your path today.

Fly suggestions
Because of the dominance of yabbies in the trout’s menu throughout the year its hard to go past a woolly bugger or two for general prospecting. Brown black and olive all work well but its always worth trying other colour variations. Orange is a great attractor colour when loch style fly fishing and during the summer its always worth having a bibio, zulu or diawl back on the top dropper. For more ideas have a look at:
Nymphs, spiders, corixia and shrimp
Midge pupa, grubs and snails
Loch flies
Streamers & pulling flies
Hoppers, locust & crickets
Emergers
My favourite buggers
Boobies
Here area few of team selections that work well. Substitute similar flies you already have for the flies you have selected ore use these teams as guidance when setting up your own selections.
