Adelaide hills trout. Are they still here?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 лип 2024
- I've been away for a while and arrive back to see if trout still live in some of the creeks using a fly rod and nymphs to fly fish for australian trout. Many years ago there were more trout about but after so many droughts did they survive?

IF YOU KNOW THE SPOT then cool, please Don't share it in the comments, you know where it is because you have been there before. Others who have not will not know the location.
Please do not ask for the location. Part of the enjoyment of fishing is the process of finding spots to fish. It can be hard at times yes, but we wont give away locations.
Cheers.

Lovely looking little stream and a good brownie. Love the snake part.
Lol yeah just missed it aye. Bugger next time lol
Awesome video mate, enjoy the trip, thumbs up and tight lines.
Cheers tony! Take care mate
always like your videos mate, I sure stuck round to the end as always, you don't always have to catch big browns to have fun, even though here in New Zealand we have some whoppers but we have places as you say where they are special to yourself that are just as exciting if not more for the trophy pools as such..
Yeah exactly aye! The next session was even better, will drop that at some point ;) you should see the other creek you’ll laugh at the size it’s tiny. But yeah intimate water is cool to fish
Thank goodness for the last two wet summers. Mild conditions and cold weather have been a saviour. I've seen a large boom in trout around Adelaide after a period of poor numbers.
Yeah I think that’s it, it’s kind of like the old days. It did get really slim 4-5years ago
Love that spot, taught myself to fish there back in early 90s, was on a first name basis with most of the fish there. Used to be some nice rainbows in there too and huge reddies in the deep holes. Thanks for the nostalgia!
Thanks for the comment man. I also learnt to fly fish there too. Haven’t seen a reddie for a long time though. And rainbows are scarce but still lovely to fish
@@AdriftFishing There's been an explosion of Rainbows in the other system recently. Been catching 3 rainbows for every brown. They're a lot more athletic than browns thats for sure!
@@danielvodo1 ah really, surprising. Though I did see a good one when I went walking up there last. Love rainbows. Funny in Nz, you’ll walk right past a 7lb rainbow to find a brown lol
there's certainly still a few nice fish in that system i've caught a couple recently, but it has degraded a fair bit over last few years sadly.
awesome vid
Yeah I hear you bro, pretty slim
lovely videos,.. amazing fhising,,
GREETING ONE HOBBY
Cheers mate 👍
don't forget to fish to my spot
@@rofii13 😀🤫
Nice bro. Awesome fly session.
Cheers man ;) not nz but still fun
@@AdriftFishing that brown was pretty impressive though. Are they being stocked?
@@Fishingreminder nah it’s a fragile self sustaining population
@@Fishingreminder they were stocked initially but not in decades
Great stuff mate!
Cheers man, glad you enjoyed the viewing ;)
awesome vid mate!
Cheers bro
The snake phobia is a dead give-away you're no longer local. Haha! Btw, great handling. Thanks for not chucking them in the dry dirt.
Haha! Not wrong lol.
Not phobic just more aware than I used to be
Mate lived here my whole life…. And sadly can’t say I’ve ever tried it, definitely something I’ve put on my bucket list cheers.
Yeah man why not. It’s good fun 🤙
@@AdriftFishing possibly first thing to get with the tax return is a fly rod hahaa. Cheers mate 🤙🏻
@@aussiegeeza9034 and here I was using tax return to pay tax. Must be doing it wrong hahaa!
@@AdriftFishing hahahaa it’s all about the right off brother 😉
@@aussiegeeza9034 🤙
Nice one bro, not as big or as plentiful as NZ but very cool.
Cheers bro. They exist man ;) get your self on one soon dude 👍
@@AdriftFishing nah they're a myth mate. Haha thinking I might have a crack again soon with a bit of fresh flow in the creeks.
@@staunchpirateproductions3919 yeah the fresh will help for sure man.
One of the better spots for fly in that area ;) lots of good holes for spinning too though
Normally see quite a few ppl spinning there aye, a nice creek to fish ;) cheers bro
@@AdriftFishing awesome brown for fly too man
@@rhyswerner8749 yeah pretty good for here ;)
Yeah but your not allowed to fish there though are you?SA water land unless a member of the fly club yeah?
nice video mate fished that river once with a mate with no success
yeah it can get like that aye. its still very slim pickings. but perseverance..
I recognise that spot!!!
Yeah man. Surprising what you find just over the border aye ;)
Any chance of location or a hint or other locations in the hills I am trying to catch my first
Mate great video. I’ve got a small creek near me in Victoria but I’m not the best fly fisher. I’ve just ordered a 3wt rod and reel combo. Can I ask your setup with the nymph. Is it below a small dry and how long is the nymph below ? Keep up with the videos they all help newbies. And a little jealous lol. Yes I totally understand not reveling your spots. Keep them up.
So in this video I started with a nymph under a dry for the first trout. Then after I changed to a sliding indicator and a two nymph setup. Think the one I use is called “the New Zealand fly indicator” but you can tie a 5 turn Uni knot around your main line and put some fluff in it and pull tight and you have a moving indicator for different depths
@@AdriftFishing a big thank you for that. Can I ask if you do a video of the double nymph which nymphs do you use and distance between them.
@@mikel2438 will do on the next trip then cheers mate.
i like brother
Cheers mate appreciate it
Hey mate, I'm from Brisbane and I'm heading down to Adelaide soon. Any chance you could tell me what river this because I was hoping to try catch a trout while I was down there! Great video as well!
Don’t asks spots bro
Where is this im from Adelaide would love to spend a day out where u went
Sorry dude there are just so little fish that we have to be a bit hush hush about it, if you do enough digging on the internet you may be able to find some fly forums about spots
It’s definitely not the Murray
Hahaha! 😂 so true 🤙
I tried a stream in hills i used to fish as teenager early 20’s(25 years ago) last week, pools/sections I would normally at least get a follow yielded nothing unfortunately
This gives me hope though
@@TheThetechnician yeah I get that too man. 10 years and more ago we’re epic in comparison. Fish everywhere. Bad summers, bad handling for pics. Excess hooks on lures. All adds up.
