Fly Fishing Australia's Most Unique Trout River!

Over the New Years break I was in South Australia and couldn't not fish the Broughton River for brown and rainbow trout! Hot and bright conditions made for tough fishing but it was still an amazing experience!

Nice to see a totally different type of river, I’ve been intrigued since Luben wrote about it years ago.

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

That's a really unusual stream, thanks for sharing Tom, nice vid. :)

[@axz1001]

I have lived in southern NSW for 20 years now and a mid north stream still holds the record for the biggest rainbow I have ever seen.

[@davidj.6525]

Interesting video. What an extraordinary river and landscape. Definitely not the run of the mill trout stream.

[@mrpoopypants9586]

What a great and unusual place. Awesome fish, too. They need to make kevlar anti snake inserts for waders 🙂And a periscope might have helped ... Cheers PP

[@Craigsoutdooradventures]

Enjoyed that thank you , and subbed from 🇬🇧

[@shanebroadby9321]

very different water Tom ! well done

[@Marschy85]

I noticed a lot of slate in the ground @ 4:45 and as Broughton river slate surrounds my house, I am going to guess that you are near Spalding, which is where a mate snd I picked a few tonnes from a slate mine back in the early 1990's.

nice fish good

[@stuartrees7667]

Great Job Tom Rumphy always raved about the Broughton i can see why now I have never been there but it looks interestingly difficult

[@Strontyum]

Yeah but the politics between landowners, SAFFA, and the general public make this river a pain to fish. Better to remember the old days, if you can.

[@matthewwarren4109]

Unbelievable boys👌

[@TERRYBIGGENDEN]

So different! I;d never think of trout in that place, especially rainbows! Do you have much trouble with snakes? Im war a the time and probbaly wojd never walk through that grass. :-) Great clip!

[@rhyswerner8749]

This river is actually one of my locals! Really weird to see you out this way tom 😂 awesome video 👌

[@Elijah27brown]

Where is the river?

[@squirrelglider7283]

Any public access points that have fish

[@jackschiller8252]

How far was your nymph from the indicator? Great video aswell

[@thecatchtherelease8982]

Seen the thump nail and thought this was one if my locals, and thank god it wasn’t. 😂

[@Sew.unsteady]

Gotta love cortland I just got a 9ft 4 wght from them for 50 bucks I bought a 4 piece at a yard sale missing one piece called cortland and they said send us the three pieces and 50 bucks and pick your rod warranted and everything even though I told them it was a yard sale purchase my question to you is I was considering overloading the rod one weight a 5 wght line as I have no line yet would you go with the 4wght I was only considering this because I already have a 5wght line do you see any problems besides maybe a little slower action !

[@dantrenchardharry3970]

[@Dave-ww5tl]

Sydney harbour river

[@lachiemcdonald4353]

[@dantrenchardharry3970]

You didn't mention that the majority of it is all private land that you need to gain permission.
