{{+1}}Spring into action – 2011 in the Snowys{{-1}}
{{start}}
Well the river season has opened with a blast and there have been great reports in relation to most of our local rivers and lakes. For the rivers - I have spent quite lot of time fishing the Eucumbene River either side of Providence Portal. On the lakes it has been fantastic with plenty of double figure days. this year has been the best polaroiding season we have seen for years. The 'doom sayers' predicted that the flushing of the Snowy River with water from Lake Jindabyne would kill the fishing off for a few months. They were so wrong ...{{end}}
{{+1}}Getting started – flies{{-1}}
{{start}}
Flies catch more fly-fishers than fish. One of the things I try to promote is the importance of limiting most if not all of your fly box to just those flies that you are confident work for you, you understand what they can be used to represent, and you know how to fish.{{end}}
{{+1}}Mid winter 2011 Snowy Mountains fishing report{{-1}}
{{start}}
The old adage " when the weather is good for fishing it's bad for fishermen" definitely was conjured up to represent the way things happen down here in the Snowy Mountains. If your coming down for a fish don't forget to bring plenty of layers of clothing and of course if your fishing from a boat make sure that everybody wear and knows how to use their PFD. The fishing however can be fantastic at this time of the year ... my last 3 outing produced 37 very good fish.{{end}}
{{+1}}Calculating trout weight from length and condition{{-1}}
{{start}}
As a result of fishing in competitions I have got used to measuring fish that I catch rather than weighing them. It's quick and simple and of course puts little extra stress on the fish so that is all good. The process of course does have its short comings in that you don't know how much the fish weighted. Well that's no longer the case because I have adopted a mathematical process called a 'power low equation to allow me to calculate the weight of fish from just one or two measurements.{{end}}
