So a few weeks ago I teamed up with a legend himself Kenny Smith, who made his way down from Queensland for work and got stuck here because of the boarder rules at that time. We decided to use that for our benefit and hit the Blue Mountains stream with a hope of putting Kenny on his first NSW trout.
Haven’t posted in a while now. Was just browsing through my Lightroom photos and saw the pic of this trout I caught up in the Blue Mountain lake during winter. Just look at it’s shape. Some kind of piranha shaped gangster of the flats. Pretty cool fish nevertheless.
Fishing for trout in the Blue Mountains has been really challenging for last couple of year with bushfires and then floods hitting the region badly. After giving a bit of a break for a few months, I decided to give another go and go for a day trip to some of my favorite spots I used to go with my
Bass fishing was pretty good on the South Coast this year, with bass not hesitating to smash surface flies even on rainy days. Managed to find one my favorite sports to camp within a reasonable driving distance from Sydney, with an easy access to launch a kayak and with no other campers in sight.
The weather this summer has been pretty funny. I think on average we’ve had more rainy days than the sunny ones. That’s obviously affecting river water flows and most of them are flooded quite badly. Even though the forecast wasn’t looking promising this weekend as well, with some
After having a doughnut chasing trout in the Blue Mountains I decided to give a crack on an early season bass and this way redeem myself. And what an awesome day it turned out to be. Spend the first half of the day casting bass vampire fly at all kinds of structures and not having a touch, I thought
This was my first trip to the Blue Mountains after the season has re-opened and I was itching to see how the rivers look like in the Spring. Especially after all this rain we had in last couple of months. Was great to see grass and trees so lush and green, and the river running in the best condition
Now as the spring is starting to kick in, it’s about time to have a wrap up on how went on Blue Mountains lakes during winter. Fishing for trout in lakes especially here in the Blue Mountains, it’s a test for every fisherman’s patience. You can sometimes spot them false-spawning
Decided to check out this tidal creek near Sydney in a hope of catching a midsummer bass. Wasn’t too sure if they gonna be at that particular section of the system or they have moved up much more upstream into a brackish water. Super busy weekend, lots people swimming, kayaking, rock jumping.
Did an overnight hike into the Blue Mountains with a hope of finding a trout or two. Unfortunately all we could find was a carp swimming in a clear cold mountain stream. Good fun sight casting to it though. Watching that thing eat a fly and landing it on a 3 or a 5 weight always gets the blood pumping.
