With just a few weeks remaining in the season, this could be many anglers’ last chance to catch a trophy brown trout before the rivers and streams close.

Few fish have entered the Eucumbene and Thredbo rivers in autumn – water levels have been too low.

Those that have are ultra-spooky in the clear water and almost impossible to catch.

But a drop of rain is just what the doctor ordered and the fish could be running as we speak, especially around Denison, near the mouth of the Eucumbene River.

In Lake Eucumbene itself, the fishing has been steady.

Bait anglers are catching browns and rainbows on Powerbait and worms at Seven Gates.

Over at Jindabyne, persistent fishos are scoring a few beaut rainbows in the Thredbo River, and one lucky angler fishing the river snared a superb brook trout over two kilos.

Locally, it’s not too late to catch a native in the surrounding lakes and rivers.

Anglers are targeting tight schools of yellowbelly with plastics and vibes and doing quite well.

It’s a form of fishing that requires a boat or kayak and decent sounder, but the rewards are there, with fish to a couple of kilos on offer.

Salmon, tailor and bonito are providing ample fun for rock fishos on the south coast.

Find a headland on the rising tide and throw a metal or whole pilchard and you should connect to a fish or two.
