Eucumbene River

The trout fishing is fantastic right along the upstream length of the river, with large lake runners, often remaining further upstream providing a welcome reward. Early in the season, cold temperatures, snowmelt and high flows keep the action subdued through to November, but nymphing will still produce fish consistently.
In late spring, early summer, things start to fire up and the fish start to look up, providing plenty of opportunities to fish a dry dropper and entice fish on dries and nymphs. Concentrating on the lower half of the river ensures temperatures work in your favour.
From late December onward the dry fly fishing really comes into its own and the fishing becomes idyllic all the way from the mouth right up to the grass plains above. Eager trout can be enticed with a range of dries and as the hoppers proliferate, these become a staple goto during the day.
As autumn gives way to winter, the Eucumbene is well known (and perhaps notorious) for its sometimes controversial spawn run, where large numbers of fisherman of all persuasions gather on the river banks around Denison for their chance at the large browns that head up from the lake to spawn. Just be aware of the tight regulations around targeting trout at this time of year.
