Fishing Edge episode - Big Brown Trout Snowy Mountains

[@1968krug]

One of the best trout fishing vids I’ve ever enjoyed, thank you

[@colinspratt9580]

Gr8 video Lee. Some big fish caught. I really enjoy trout fishing in the New England. The Snowys is on the bucket list. Cheers

I live in Italy. In 1986 I fished this river. It was wonderful. They caught up to 70 trout a day. They were trout like the ones in the video. Almost all around 50 centimetres. But don't they grow bigger?

[@peterthompson230]

We target big browns in Eucumbene all year round even during the closure(in the lake). It just seems to me targeting big browns during the run is a bit too easy, and a bit of a cop out. If I caught a 10lb fish during the spawn run I'd feel cheated, but whatever floats your boat. On a lighter note, your video skills are superb. So why is there a closed season for spawn runners. Do you think 100's of fisho's targeting spawn runners don't have any impact on spawning success and recruitment, or you don't you consider this, its a valid question...

'Lee Rayner' what a badass name

[@kickthephase8750]

Was this actually a year ago? I was of the understanding you could only drive as far as the camp grounds, then had to walk

[@rhianallan1661]

I reckon it would be older footage

[@TROYBALLER]

It's older footage. U need to have a key 🔑 for the past few years to unlock the gate ,and drive down to the water, as you need a physical impairment

Lol spin fishing the euc, what a hard day's fishing when last year was insane 40fish days on fly and in camp by 11am around the fire 🔥

@matthewwhite876 always some hero fly fisherman putting someone else down, you folks are insufferable.

[@matthewwhite876]

@@Blinkeebill always someone who refuses the truth behind knowing how to get trout and struggling like a pleb unwilling to learn. If you want a hard day for 4 fish, keep throwing lures at fish that aren't there to eat 😏 No-one is putting anyone down its fact, It's struggle city on trout with spin and lure. That won't ever change. No point sinking a fly to snapper in 30m of water so why throw lures to breeding fish that hold in 2 foot of pocket water for a rest with a 1 meter retrieve. Doesn't make sense. Take it or leave it in ya gumboot ebay waders my guy

@@fishingwithsofthands9096 on eucombene I Czech nymph only that time of year, people with indicators are struggling if you want them you need to be on the bottom. Tag dropper and point fly 30-45cm apart, pending flow and depth anywhere between 1 and 5bb split shot, tight line nymphing is the only way I would fish that system in may

[@peterthompson230]

Leave the Eucumbene spawners alone, they get pressured all year round in the lake, let em be and challenge yourself to catch a 10lb when they are actually feeding, no skills here

[@kickthephase8750]

So you're saying to leave them alone but also go challenge yourself when they are actually feeding, but they get pressured all year round.........they eat flies readily on their spawn run, unless everyone is 'snagging' them.....

[@davidball5002]

Trout are only there for one reason, to be caught.

[@peterthompson230]

@@davidball5002 I do agree with this, my wife and I harvest our 10 per person every run to Euc, 2x trips a year, we have a self imposed limit of 35cm to 45cm and like eating trout weekly...the browns aren't stocked and rely on successful spawning, they do cease feeding when they run, its puts stress through the fish and post spawn lake fish are often arrow heads due to loss of condition.. I caught spawn runners in may in the portal and they were just too easy to get a reaction bite, didn't go hard and we tried 1 to eat but the quality was shit...its only allowed to keep the small town economy ticking until snow season in June
