i did a fair bit of fly fishing in jindabyne. we used to go to hatchery bay in the evening and flog the water with wet flies and usually caught a few.
also people used to do some bait fishing there with mudeyes under floats and seemed to do fairly well.
there was also another bay near the dam wall...bugger if i can remember what it was called,. ..and we used to get some fish there too.
have you tried the thredbo river (on foot)?
and we used to do OK at frying pan arm at Lake Eucumbene. Though that might well be empty. i am not sure what the water levels are like.
there was another river halfway between canberra and Eucumbene that was pretty good. It must have been the upper Murrumbidgee River. I has a good session there once but the water levels were pretty high i guess. I guess the drought might have mucked with the trout propulation in the river.
the best fishing i had in canberra was lake burley griffin. i also caught some fish in the Googong Reservoir. and i think i tried the river below the dam too but can't remember if i got anything. i do remember seeing signs of other fishers having recently cleaned fish along the river bank. i have a feeling perhaps there is a fishing restriction immediately below the dam. but that was several years ago!
cheers, glen
