Reports were varied with a lot of effort put in for small result by both the land-based and the boat trollers who fished the three main dams.
Mark James spent three days trolling the close to shore areas of Jindy to score a nice rainbow and a bigger brown and said both fish were in post spawn condition and fairly skinny for their length.
Both the Snowy and Eucumbene rivers were running very clear and shallow and the fish were easily spooked by those who chased fish on fly or glo-bugs, but the Tantangra guys faired a little better.
Snowy Hydro say lake levels are all steady with Jindabyne at 76 per cent, Eucumbene at 41 per cent and Tantangra at 23 per cent.

Ladies BRE biggest catch and biggest fish went to Brigitte Fryer with flathead and junior BRE and biggest bag went to Kynan Penfold, again with flatties.
