I'm an avid freshwater angler. I've fished Eungella a couple of times (without much success).
I fished the sooty champs. Most of the high place getters fished deep (15ft+) in the timber with spinnerbaits or Jackalls rolled reeeeaaaaal slow.
However, if you go up the creek or around the edges early in the morning with whatever (spinnerbaits, hb's, topwater) you will find some action also (that was in May this year). Target overhanging branches. Sooties seem to like that type of cover if they're not down deep in the sticks.
I'd definitely try some bait tho if that is more your style. I've heard they don't mind a bit of red meat?
It's a beaut spot to camp, even if you don't find any fish. Make sure you take plenty of winter woolies & more often than not it blows up of a night.
Fees are a few bucks per night p.p. or cheaper for the family. There are toilets (the long drop) & cold showers only in the amentities block.
I always C&R the sooties. I've never put 1 on the plate Steve. Don't reckon they'd be much chop to eat but bloody great fun on light gear. They'd pull a barra of the same weight backwards if tied tail to tail.
I chase em often in the Pioneer. Got my 1st on the fly rod the other day . Good fun.
I didnt see you at the sooty comp, shame we camped up there and didnt catch up for a beer. Im still keen for a fish though colo so when my house is built at marion ill have to take you down to pleystowe there for a fish.
. Good fun.
