completly agree
I agree too Marty. Its everything about that place. The national park.. the river.. wild brumbys running around.. Its an awesome place.
Im going to try the lake this year as well as the Thredbo river.

A couple mates fished Tantangara dam and got a few nice fish also

tantangara dam is well worth the effort.

the trout are alot smaller than uce but often you catch 20 plus trout in a session.

there is creek you cross on the way in thats full off little browns and brook trout.

you need a light rod and light line but its great fun.

You're spot on bm. My mate only spent a couple hours there and he got a few nice fish. Most were average size but he did pick up a 48cm fish as well.

I wasn't aware there was brook trout in the NSW fishery. I've always wanted to catch one. Not to mention an Atlantic salmon....Must try to pencil in a trip when the winter is over.....
