Fishing the Kiewa west branch

Post by Branxhunter »

Made our annual trip to Albury for Easter. My SIL had organised for a fishing-mad friend of hers to take us out to find some trout; we ended up spending some time floating grasshoppers through the riffles and pools on the upper Kiewa River west branch.

Beautiful spot. I think next year I will return with waders and some lighter gear, and explore some nice looking holes that show up further downstream on the aerial photos.

I'm jealous, again. :D

I need to find time to get down that way and take up some of the opportunities that have been offered by some very good folk on this forum. :D

Great day for mate, its a wonderful area.
We keep looking for nice lifestyle place up there but just out of our price range :(

Tyring to convince the missus we need to sell our 10 acres down and have money in the bank whilst living up at the hideaway until something comes up :wink:
