Fly Fishing - Gorgeous Trout Stream in North East Victoria

- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- With the trout season just beginning, I thought it would be a good time to post a video from a beautiful small stream in North-East Victoria that Jared and I fished at the end of last season. These rivers are such a delight to fish, with plentiful brown and rainbow trout that are fun to catch and still present a satisfying challenge to outwit.
Thanks to Phil Bushell Leather for the beautiful amadou patch, find him on Instagram if you want to order one for yourself. :)

Thanks so much, this was great. I just got home from an all day FlyFishing trip on my boat in Jervis Bay. Loved it and will do more this summer, keep the videos coming….
Thanks Jens! That sounds awesome mate, I've never fished Jervis Bay but it looks amazing!
Nice one again Steve. Great to see that the gurus occasionally still get hung up in the scrub! Tricky little stream.
Heehee thanks Rob! Yes it's got a few tricky twiggy bits, but what a lovely piece of water hey! ;)
You certainly get around another great video
Haha, thanks Pete! Yeah it must look that way, what really happens is I accumulate footage from a few trips over time and don't get a chance to edit it until later on! 😆
Great to see the struggle is real with the sticks and tree with it just compounding one after the other
Haha yep! Happens so often on those small streams! 😆
@@PeachyFlyFishing so right an you just gotta laugh and take a sec to recollect yourself
Absolutely! 😂
Great video boys , I will be down there in April to fish that stream and its lower stretch,which is certainly vastly different than above the bridge. One of my favourites .
Thanks for the memories 😊
Pleasure Michael, thanks for watching! I haven't fished the lower stretch, must give it a go! Good luck for your trip. :)
Beautiful little stream.
Thanks Johan, yeah it’s a gem!
So good Steve !! Good one to watch before getting on the water this season
Thanks Cam, yeah I haven’t got out yet, looking forward to it! :)
Great vid Steve. I remember fishing that stretch when the lower lying rivers had blown it. It held up very well!
Thanks Luke, yeah it's a really nice little stream! :)
Where abouts is this little stream? Is it on private property?
Gday Nick, thanks for watching. It’s in North east Victoria which is full of little streams like this, but I deliberately didn’t reveal the exact location so as not to ruin the spot. It’s accessed from a public road. Sorry I can’t be more specific, but just get out there and search, there’s loads of little gems to be found. :)
Really????😂
For streams like this would a 3wt 6’6 with WF1F and a x5 leader 4lb tippet be ok?? Cos my other set up is a 5/6wt 9” WF5SS with a 2-3x and 8lb tippet but I’ve got that set up for the big boys at bullen merri so streams like this it’s overkill .. or am I better off buying a whole new set up? I’ve only ever used the smaller set up in the salt chasing baits (yakka and Tommy’s and such)
Yes you would certainly get away with the smaller setup on this stream, for sure. I have a couple of short lightweight dry fly rods, but these days I mostly prefer to fish longer and lighter rods for trout wherever there is enough room to use them, primarily for the ability to hold more line off the water, fish longer leaders, and thus improve drifts. But in really tight cover and close range the shorter rods can be easier to fish with. Shorter rods can also be a little more accurate, if they are not too soft action. The 5-6 weight you're right it's probably overkill for this stream, but you could make it work if you wanted to. Still, it's always fun buying a new rod right?? 😆
@@PeachyFlyFishing might have to sneak a 2/3wt 9” on my wish list haha .. I’m only just getting into fly fishing streams I’ve always fished lakes and the salt with streamers and nimphs so dry and wet flies is wat I’m learning now .. I don’t have any fancy gear it’s no orvis or nothing haha it’s just gotrue and ssuoyailang stuff off wish and Temu it’s not to bad but can def the difference to my 1 expensive one
Why didn't you boys call me?! It's a quick 18 hour flight from Seattle to Melbourne.
Haha! Sorry mate, we didn’t have phone reception out there! 😆
Where is this mate?
Hi mate, it’s in the Anglers Rest area in north east Victoria.
Far Out bro! Love this vid... It like de ja vu for me fishing Australian streams. Lots of Fun and streamcraft to get your head around on the day! You blokes should do more together in my humble opinion..Onya fellas!
Thanks Greg! Glad you enjoyed it mate, yep I'm sure Jared and I will be doing a lot more vids together, he's not too bad to fish with! ;)
