A New Year for New England
Despite low water levels there is still some great fishing in the New England area. Today Harry guided his good mate David onto his first native fish on fly! The boys encountered a number of healthy green and gold nuggets. A great start to the new year boys!
“Just got my first native on fly. Thanks Peter Lister for the fly and your encouragement. Harry Thomas was todays guide, champion.” – David Harris

Happy New Year 2020
Spent the first day of 2020 with wonderful @jane_and_felix . Full of enthusiasm Jane wanted to catch her first Bass on fly but the wind forced us to pick up the spin gear. Even though it was Jane’s first time with conventional tackle she soon boated 2 of #clarriehalldam finest. Well done Jane. Love your work ❤

Bass Summer Session December 7
Had a cracker of a session out on the water today with Micheal. It was a slow start at first and the first few hours went by with only a few bumps. But someone must have flicked a switch because by at about 10am the fish turned on! Over the next few hours we landed 10 fish between us all but 2 in the mid 40’s. It was certainly a session to remember. Thanks Michael.
Time to OzFish
OzFish Tweed River Chapter members Tom, Jake and Simon spent some quality time on the water today chasing bass. The fish are growing noticeably bigger and fatter in the dam which is a great sign there is ample resources for the fish. We encountered two 45cm bass today which were as big as any I have seen in these waters. Happy days.
European Carp
Carp are a pest species here in Oz but they are simply ace fun to sight cast in the shallows 👌 This one took a liking to a modified Bass Vampire fly.
Bass Season is Open!
This kid can fish! Flying up from Tasmania especially for this trip, Lucas an his Mum were on a mission to add a new species to his bucket list. Luckily Lucas is just as skillful with a fly rod in his hand as he is with a spin rod. The mission was accomplished when Lucas boated his first Australian Bass on a diving minnow. True to his form he followed up with another 2. His efforts are a credit to his passion for fishing and his mothers dedication to her boy. Congratulations to you both!
Winter Bass
Winter time often means picture postcard days at Clarrie Hall Dam. Today bright blue skies held the mountains and the lush green lilies that fringe the lake margins. The cooler water temperature at this time of year requires slower bait presentations to spark the interest of the bass. Adding plenty of scent to the lure and slowing down the retrieve is the key. Even ‘dead sticking soft plastic can work wonders, with very small movements triggering the ever watchful bass into striking. Right from the start Marie mastered this technique and connected with a number of fish throughout the day. Marie’s first bass ever was a very fat & healthy 40cm specimen. Well done and thanks for a great day!
