Fishing the Mitta Mitta River and Snowy Creek fishing with the Riz

The Mitta Mitta River is a stunning river, and a stunning river system to fish. In this video I fish with my friend Mark Rizio and we fish the Mitta Mitta River and one of it's larger tributaries, the Snowy Creek.

haha Thanks Kay. He is just a very funny guy all round. LOL

[@TheCaptainbeefylog]

I'm always impressed that a fish as big as a trout can make a living eating bugs and grubs. Mark should include a snorkel as part of his kit.

[@robbiefishing]

Hahahaha that's so funny. A snorkel.

I had an extra rare steak on Good Friday.. Nice spot Robbie. Went fishing Saturday on the Campaspe. Found this little secluded spot on a gravel bank. It rained too, so we were fishing in the rain. Nice and peaceful. watching the raindrops on the water. .Caught a few carp.

[@robbiefishing]

Hey Pgil, I had 6 small redfin on Good Friday. haha All breadcrumbed. They were amazing. Fishing in the rain is very relaxing, as long as you can keep dry and warm. It's not fun at all if you're not comfortable.

The first scene of you fishing looks like the Mitta River between Tallandoon and Eskdale the small creek you fished in looks like the Little Scrubby Creek in 1984 i caught a 3kg trout in that water. The last larger creek looks like the snowy creek above Mitta township. Beautiful country.

I lived up there in 1975. I was 5 years old. Stayed until the dam was finished. The Mitta River is a shadow of what it used to be. It's basically a gutter now to move water to the Hume weir. Still good fishing above Dartmouth on the Mitta though. Cheers mate 👍🐕🤠

Just got back from camping on the Mitta Mitta near Eskdale. Fishing was pretty slow but we managed a couple of small ones on rapalas. Couldn’t tempt a cod with spinner baits. Great vid mate!

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks so much Anthony. Yeah we going the fishing slow in the river, that's why we headed upstream. The cod fishing has slowed down a lot in the rivers with the cooler water.

[@fishermansoffice]

Nice one Robbie. Such a pretty creek, mind you that's alot bigger than some of the creek sized rivers I have closer to Home 😂. Good to see Mark in such high spirits even after going arse up in the drink a couple of times haha. I hope he enjoyed the fish on good Friday 👌👌

[@robbiefishing]

Thanks mate. These waterways are like ocean compared to what I usually fish. haha When my inlaws were alive and healthy I use to spend a lot of time up in this area. They lived in Mt Beauty, so I fished the Kiewa and Mitta Mitta Rivers a lot.

Thanks mate, and well done in the Silver. They're a lot of fun to catch. I love Wagga Wagga. I have some family up there, the Ingram's. I must get back up and see my beautiful great aunty.

Thanks mate and yeah wagga is a great place you should make a fishing video here don't go the lake right now though it's full of blue green algae the river is more preferable and plus once the fish start biting where I was fishing you don't get time to ever get the bells back on after you've put your bait out ahahaha and I was really surprised about the silver because all I've been catching there was carp after carp and a couple of Murry cod too

[@bussieboy7064]

Robbie. Do you bait fish much for trout? Because I might start getting into it. I heard that mudeyes are the actual pure goldmine for trout. I’ve been told different ways how to use them for trout. Using very very small hooks (2-6), hooking through tail or wings, use a float and you let it drift. Once a trout has it, you let him swim with it and then set the hook.

[@robbiefishing]

Hi mate, I sure do. I have videos in this channel of me fishing with worms and cricket's. I actually have a bait fishing for trout video coming out in the next week or two.

@@robbiefishingthe Snowy Creek looks amazing, not like the Snowy River really. In 1983 I sailed a small boat into the mouth of the Snowy River at Marlo. I was the first in around a decade. There had not been enough water in the river for there to be a mouth. Then the rains came at last not long before I sailed around the coast, and I managed to get inside. This week I'm planning on trying for Redfin in the South Parra River near Gawler South, SA. Wish me luck. At this stage I'll be using worm baits not lures. Fingers crossed again. If I don't catch anything I'll have to try carp fishing at a muddy pond. Cherrs
