Fly Fishing the PINCH RIVER for Monster Trout, Snowy Mountains, Australia

[@TheSilver9r]

Absolutely gorgeous browns!

[@Muppet_Interfector]

Your rainbow trout look much like the browns I have caught. The little one in the net certainly looked like a typical brown with some big red spots

Brilliant Video, fly fishing is an adventure .. thank for sharing yours 👍👍👍

[@The_Wandering_Woodster]

That was magnificent...the healthiest looking trout you would want to see

[@darrengreene3688]

Love the emotion when you catch that big guy.

People have to take into consideration that Covid and the rain following the drought allowed these fish to grow very quickly ! The fishing pressure and non catch release from many fisherman will bring everything into perspective as we go forward !! Pinch river is 300-400m from campsite, the temperature is a lot warmer and the food supply is there for the fish !!

That last fat brown! ❤

Great video, good to see the slogging was worth it.

Great fish mate! just letting you know the smallest fish was a brown not a rainbow ;)

Great fishing

[@joelist9288]

Great fishing. How far up from the campgrounds did you go?

[@p3p_flyfishing]

prob about 8-10 km. Bit of a horse trail part of the way but can get pretty thick. You have to pick the spots you fish where it opens up a bit. Beautiful scenery though.

Great video, could you tell what size and weight rod you were using?

[@p3p_flyfishing]

Hey mate, its a Orvis Clearwater 3wt 10 ft euro rod. Euro rods are generally longer with sensitive tips and stiffer butts ; feels more like a 4-5wt when fighting a fish.

Cheers, I am new to fly fishing and was wondering how you managed those large trout if you are expecting to catch small/medium size. So a 9’ 4 wt would cope? Well done, subscribed, looking forward to more of your videos 👍🏻

[@p3p_flyfishing]

@@Rufus761 awesome man, I found the orvis training center to be super helpful when starting out (howtoflyfish.orvis.com/video-lessons). A 4wt 9' would be perfect on this river - can be a little bit tough if they start running down stream however i find if you keep lots of side pressure and try to point the bottom of the reel towards the fish you should be able to keep them above you.

Wow … they are big browns for that sized river. Btw I’ve never even heard of the pinch river.

[@p3p_flyfishing]

It's not far from Jindabyne, I'm pretty sure it hasn't been fished that far up for quite a while - was pretty tough terrain though. Will be interesting to fish it again during summer.
