Snowy Lakes producing.
We’ve come out of the summer break and dire reports on trout fishing continue – water levels are down and some of the lowland streams have stopped flowing.
This issue has come along really well with multiple reports, including local successes and recent CAA events. Fish stocking (of natives and threatened species) are documented after CAA successfully obtained supplementary funding for cod stocking in the Yass River and members were involved in trout cod research stocking. Talking about research and threatened species, CAA has been invited to be involved in a UNSW research project – more information given in the newsletter, come along to the Feb meeting to hear all about it.
21-23 Mar to Buckenderra Caravan Park. Message from Claude:
Due to the dry conditions and generally challenging river fishing conditions due to the hot / dry summer, I have changed the date and location of the ‘Tantangara Trip’ to ‘Buckenderra – Lake Eucumbene Trip’. The fishing will be primarily lake based unless folk want to travel to the local rivers. There are plenty of shore based fishing opportunities however you will need a 4WD if you want to travel further afield along the lake edge (to the cattle farm area). This trip allows you to engage in all types of fishing in one day…boat fishing if you have one, fly fishing as much as you like, lures when you get tired or frustrated and bait fishing with a rod bell as we sit around the fire on the waters edge at night……or any other combination.
All accommodation options are available. Please express your interest if you want to share a cabin and I will try to coordinate – please note, that if you cancel your shared accommodation at late notice, normal club etiquette is to offer your part of the fee to other members. I will be camping.

A number are closed, though note that fishing (and boating) are considered seconday activities and have a more relaxed control.
Boss Outdoors is a very generous supporter of CAA. I’ve seen the occasional video fishing report by Nathan and I’ve missed a trick in not promoting them. They are quite professional and come out weekly reporting on local conditions. Nathan has brought old Pratty’s reports back to a new channel.
Here is this week’s report on Rainbow Lake and nearby Sponar’s Dam.

You should consider subscribing yourself to the channel, or wait for CAA News blog to notify. Looking at their archive there’s a lot more to watch.
CAA normally doesn’t provide advertisements (except for recognising our tackle shop supporters, especially when we get mate’s rates for raffle prize acquisition) but this post is mainly an announcement rather than advertisement. There was some sad news when we heard Tumut River Brewing Company was going out of business. It has often been a Saturday evening option in our annual Tumut event; next year 16-18 May (thanks Stefan).
The good news now is they are reopening! https://the-riotact.com/tumut-river-brewing-co-to-reopen-after-former-staff-buy-up/830286 so we may be OK this year after all.
