I've NEVER seen an Aussie trout stream like THIS....

Join me fly fishing an EPIC Snowy Mountains trout river, featuring some dry fly and euro nymphing action, amazing sight fishing, this one has it all. I can't believe I didn't know about this spot before now...... :)

Another great video, thanks Steve. Glad you found what they wanted after another tough start. Well done, and what spectacular water. Cheers mate.

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

Thanks Jonny! Yeah took me a little while to figure it out…😂

[@wasntPete]

A beautiful spot there Steve, plenty of fish and a challenge to catch them makes it all worth while. Well done on another great video.

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

Thanks Pete! Yeah it’s a cracking spot. :)

[@rob3518]

Euro just turns the tables doesn’t it. Well done 🎣

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

Thanks! Yeah it’s a deadly technique no doubt about it. In hindsight I probably would’ve done better on the conventional rod if I’d tied a nymph on under the dry…. ;)

[@bertiebeetle525]

Lovely vid Steve, and great work with the music too!

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

Thanks Rob! Was great having a cameraman that’s for sure! :)

[@robertlouis24]

Thanks for sharing that absolutely stunning location with us - one to add to the list - high quality video production and skilful fishing - chapeau… Rob

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

Thanks Robert! :)

[@kennethgordon7885]

Awesome video Steve! I’m going to have to find that place😉

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

Haha, pm me and I’ll tell you. ;)

[@Troutmajor]

I was there a couple of days before you. Some of the best fishing I have ever experienced

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

Thanks David! Yes amazing fishing, such a high concentration of fish, pretty spooky though! :)

[@rd2957]

So glad to see you get one! Sometimes we just have to give up the dream of the dry fly take 😂

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

Haha! Yes for sure.😂

[@johanvandenbergh475]

Beautiful water, Steve.

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

Thanks Johan! Yeah stunning water, so clear! :)

[@user-bl6rp3fw9l]

Great edit Steve. I am impressed with the quality of the DJI Action 4 especially how it picked up the fly line movement which can be difficult to catch. Let’s do it again sometime soon with a combination of Sony FX’s and DJI.

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

Hell yeah! Thanks so much mate, excellent camera work, made editing so much easier… :)

[@darcybettenay_mtb]

i think i know exactly where that is, was there a few months ago, once I saw the revine I was like:yep I think i know where that is.

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

Yeah once you’ve seen that ravine there’s no mistaking it…. Thanks for watching! :)

[@Troutmajor]

Great camera work

[@jaredklein3930]

Great vid mate! Your new camera man if definitely better than that other bloke with the beard that sometimes film.

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

Hahaha! Yeah he did a pretty handy job with the camera I must say... ;)

[@jackavalon8366]

Looks like Cave Creek like it was in the early 70s, with a decent amount of water.

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

Yes good water levels and nice and cool too. :)

[@9f676150z8xF]

It’s getting a pounding this year (on YT)!). Very quick fish.

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

Yes it is, there were a few others fishing it this day as well....

[@fishbowl925]

Yeh gettin flogged

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

Yep.

[@Troutmajor]

I’ll have to put my vid of tis place together

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

Looking forward to it! 👍

[@joehristovski9480]

It's a tough river! You need to put your hiking shoes on and head way down ! Access becomes very difficult and limited that's why the fish have survived and thrived ! It ain't no thredbo or encumbene river accessible!

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

Yeah I really would’ve liked to hike down a lot further and explore, didn’t get a chance this time as we had a limited time window. Next time hopefully! Thanks for watching. :)

[@darcybettenay_mtb]

yep the way i got there was very much 4wd only, fastest way from Canberra

[@phonotheque]

Moving to NSW from UK - This looks utterly beautiful. I have no idea where to start. is there anything like this within reach of Sydney?

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

There is trout fishing within reach of Sydney, and lots of opportunities for other species too. I suggest you join the Sydney Flyrodders Club, that’ll get you started with spots etc. Hope to see you at a club meeting! :)

[@phonotheque]

Thank you so much! I'll absolutely do that :) @@PeachyFlyFishing

[@darcybettenay_mtb]

i would recomend a 4wd to get to a lot of good trout fishing places as it being inaccessible by anything else means that a lot less people can get there, the places that I have seen and caught trout are places you can only get to by 4wd

[@petermauder2191]

@@darcybettenay_mtb Much appreciate the advice. 4x4 is definitely on the shopping list. Funnily enough I managed to pull a couple of beauties out of the Cox's river right on the Glenroy campsite stretch on the dry a couple of weeks back. Fairly tough going though. Thanks mate :)

[@darcybettenay_mtb]

@@petermauder2191 if you have a famaily, get a older cruiser (80 series, 100 series 105 series) and get a desiel, when you push them offroad or towing the fuel economy will be affected less like 10l/100 less on a desiel when pushed hard, got a 105 with a 1hz and towing our 2t camper trailer offroad (2mks in an hour) we where getting 25l/100 and towing on the highway we get about 20l/100 and just dirveing without the van its about 14l/100 and our cruiser is heavily modified. hope this helps, and good luck

[@davidream5175]

Are those snake chaps on your lower legs?

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

Yes, snake gaiters. It get's pretty warm here in summer, too warm for waders but definitely still need snake protection.....

[@sketchyfishin]

hey what music did you use at 15:11

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

Hey mate, it’s all my own music, I’m actually a composer by trade. Played and recorded it myself. :)

[@sketchyfishin]

@@PeachyFlyFishing awesome , ive started making my own videos is it possible i can use your songs if i credit you cause they sound great

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

Hey mate, thanks! PM me on Instagram if you're on there and we can discuss it. instagram.com/peachyflyfishing/

[@lafabricaderecuerdosconser713]

For me, humbly without offending, in that situation of still waters and small spaces it is better to apply a different strategy that puts the fish less on alert. The line coming and going puts them on alert. Or I would use a very long leader, 5 to 6 meters, or a nylon line, which are transparent and do not alter that type of water. Very small tipet nymphs, very fine, but the most important thing is that they would not go over the line. I think that with that in a place so loaded with fish, more catches would be obtained. Sincerely.  Comentarios

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

Thanks! Yes I agree, your strategy is spot on. From memory I was using a very long leader (around 5.5m) and very fine tippet (7x), it was still very hard to catch the fish except up in the moving water. There were quite a lot of people who had been walking along the river, a few fishing, the fish were already very alert, but in the end I just needed to fish better to catch them! Thanks for watching. :)

[@noysreyhoung]

You fish in a clear shallow water, wait until you get one trout😊😊

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

That's the plan! :)

[@ElApropiador]

Peachy what footwear have you got on in this video?

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

It's the Simms Flyweight Access boots (the newer model): bwcflies.com.au/product/simms-flyweight-access-wading-boots/

[@damo.77]

Great spot there, unfortunately The powers that be in NSW are closing this whole area off.

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

That’s terrible news! Was that to do with the culling they have announced or is it something else? Do you have a link to any info you could share?

[@damo.77]

They say it will be closed due to culling for five months or there abouts but this will be only the start of whats to come. They want all national parks shut, same thing is slowly happening here in Vic unfortunately.

[@PeachyFlyFishing]

Yes there are some troubling developments recently that's for sure...

[@grahamnield7716]

The npws have been wanted to close that area off for years.A ranger actually told me that. They can't stop people from walking or riding in. Or can they...?

[@andrewtarlinton2440]

they can fine you for being in a national park when it is closed@@grahamnield7716Unfortunately the wild brumby situation has gotten out of control and the destruction of the natural environment can be seen everywhere. The temporary closure is to try to cull, which will be a good thing for the eco system and rivers. It is especially an issue up near long plain, close to where this video is shot (I believe)
