Macquarie River

This river is best know for it’s spinner falls. These adult mayflies emerge from the bushes and lay their eggs on the water in mid spring and through summer and the trout go crazy for them. The dry fly fishing when this occurs is sensational; calm conditions are the best to experience this unique event. Calm sunny weather will also provide an angler the opportunity to walk along and target good quality browns holding in the current or cruising around pools. This river also sees some good grasshopper fishing late summer when the paddocks dry off and the grasshoppers push more towards the river’s edge. Hot windy days are best when the fish lock onto the grasshoppers getting blown into the river.
