Rivers:- Well the Rain has come and all rivers are running well. Fishing on most off rivers has been good best reports have been from the Thredbo up high around Thredbo town and higher down around the ski tube and little Thredbo has been good with some good browns and rainbow below the runs and into the deeper holes. Most fishers have been keeping away from the river over the Christmas holidays but the ones that have been hitting them have had a good time and now the holidays have finished things should get back to normal. Overall the fishing is great the rivers are running well and the fish are on the bite. Remember all other rivers are fishing well up that way the Moonbah, Snowy River, up above Island bend, go exploring that's what fly fishing is all about new ground you might just find that fishing hole you have been looking for!!
Are fishing well with a number off good fish feeding late in the afternoons and early mornings but at the moment all rivers are running high after all the rain so wait a few days things will get better.
Fishing at Braemer Park .

Also a huge thank you to Peter Giles guru and friend for sharing his vast knowledge of all methods of fishing , also birdlife or almost anything to do with the outdoors,we had a great time .
Also enjoyed seeing the photo of my friend Neil and myself with the marvellous trout we were able take back to family and friends. Kind regards to all Warren K S Davison .
Peter from Braemar here with a report of fishing activity during the Christmas week.
Thankfully Santa did his job, most people and groups got amongst the fish over the holiday weekend and results were very good, all methods proved successful at some stage or another with mudeyes being the standout once again, so collect your mudeyes from Mick and the gang at Alpine Angler on your way through to make sure you are prepared.
Bubble float rigs and drifting mudeyes from the boat or bank have been very successful indeed, it seems there is about to be a massive hatch in the area around the Park and close by, a couple of warm nights and the mudeyes will be off and the fish know it, they are feverishly looking for mudeyes now.
The trolling people have also done well with the darker colours doing great early morning, # 28 once again being the pick with # 114 Ginja Ninja and # 82 Pink Bomber also accounting for some great fish.
The fly-fishing has finally turned the corner it seems with fish readily taking the more traditional summer flies during the day and savaging muddler minnow and mudeye patterns after dark, it seems we may be in for a period of consistent fishing on all methods, chunky cheese remains the best powerbait and worms have also caught a few fish after rain run off.
Best Fish of the week went to Jake Brown from Drouin with a 3005 gms Brown caught on Mudeye, several very large Browns have been sighted over the past few days and we have weighed in 14 fish over 2kg up until Tuesday with many fish in the 1.5kg range, even the Rainbows are getting up to the kilo mark now on a regular basis with a 1623 gms specimen caught by Bernard Cameron on a fuzzy wuzzy.
We still have a couple of cabins for hire through January at very good rates so call us for a deal and get amongst the famous "big un's" at Braemar.
Pictured below is Jake Brown with his 3005 gms Brown, Jessie Major with his 2800 gms Brown, Vicki O'Hara with her nice rainbow caught trolling, her daughter Kimberly with a nice fat Brown caught on the same outing, Rob Heath with his rainbow, Venny with a sample of his recent catches trolling and David Perkins with a sample of his recent trolling efforts, well done to everyone.
