South Esk River Report 21/4/2014

Arrived at the South Esk with George Papp around 11am and fished till 3pm. I used soft plastics, while George tried the dry fly. We managed twelve between us and i got onto a couple of beauties around the 3lb mark, which were kept for a feed. The rest were released. Saw a few moving on top to caddis and spinners. Caught mine on Berkley Black & Gold T.Tails,and George got his on a hopper pattern. All fish were in top nick and fought hard, but this will be our last trip for the season.

Cheers Phil Zanetto

I had a couple of hours off today so I decided to hook on the tinny and explore the South Esk River in my little 12 foot tinny. I managed 7 in very short time, 3 taken on a klinkhammer dry and the rest on the orange bead - head nymph.

The Tasmanian Greens today raised concerns that DPIPWE had ignored its own scientific advice

North Esk River 17/8/2012

As soon as school finished, Bailey & I had a look at the Upper Nth.Esk River this afternoon. The river was still running clear despite all the rain, we found the fishing a bit hard. We managed five brownies up to around 2lb, all caught on black n gold t.tails. We dropped a couple as well.

Tangle with a Tiger on the Macquarie

Some wise words written below fellow Presidents, luckily it has a happy ending. Thanks President Mick for the timely reminder as the warmer weather approaches.
President Todd.

G’day all,
I haven’t had many chances to get a lot of fishing in this year, but on Friday (after looking out the window all day at the glorious weather) I jumped in the car after work, packed in my fly rod and went for a look on the Macquarie near Cressy.

South Esk Report 13/11/2011

Bailey and I fished the Sth.Esk river for a couple of hours this afternoon, we were supposed to have a fish with Dale and Trev today, but looking at last night’s weather forecast for state-wide rain, I canned it for Bailey and myself.

St Patricks River

We had a look at St.Patricks river late this afternoon with Bailey, he was supposed to go fishing with Dale and Trev but Dale was a bit crook so that was the end of that.

South Esk (2) 01/10/2011

We caught 8 lovely fish in various sizes, all in the one location.
They where caught on YEP Red rascals clear Galaxid and rainbow ripper .
 

South Esk Report (1) 1/10/2011

Had a fish out to the Sth Esk this morning with Bailey, got there at around 10.30am and finished at 1.30pm, had to get home to watch Grand final, just made it.
Anyway we had a fab morning catching 17 brownies, size was from 1lb to nearly 2lb.
Bails caught eleven on hard bodys and i got six on softies, black & gold yeps and berkleys.

Macquarie River 23/09/2011

Bailey and I headed out to the Macquarie river after work today, fished from 4.30 to 6.30pm. We haven't fished here for a couple of years, thought it might be worth a look now that it has a good flow of water again after a couple of years being effected by drought conditions.
