4th Annual NSW Meet - Paddys River Dam May 24-26th

[billolga]

Quick question......
Is there one big camp ground or a number of different areas around the place?
At this point I’m looking to get there on Thursday afternoon, so I just want to be sure I’m setting up in the right area.

We will be there Thursday afternoon also @Aza013 - bringing a bag of wood BTW.
(First into the Rockbuns)

Let’s hope they make the trip down before I eat them all lol.

I can assume you had no trouble putting the camp fire out.

 

[Aza013]

We struggled with it. Lol.

 

[Luthy]

Looks like a great trip. Really wish I could of made it but just way to much work on. Definitely be coming to the next one.

For those that weren't there that is the remains of the NSW fire - sad really.

Hi guys, just wondering if anyone has ever fished for trout in Paddy's dam while you've been down there & if you had any success?

Im headed down that way & wondering if I should throw in a rod?

Cheers

G'day,
I'm curious about this one, too. The records show it being stocked with Rainbows and Brook Trout. I've spoken to a few people who have pulled Brooks out and there are some Youtube videos of blokes catching Brooks in the river, although DPI reckon the brumbies have wrecked the upper reaches and the fishing up there is no good now?? Be keen to hear of any successes. Never caught a Brook, this years mission. Heading down in Spring. Was very sorry to miss the get together.
Cheers

I tried with live worms and got nothing. But I reckon there would have to be some there

 

[MrPoopypants]

5,000 browns and rainbows every year for the past 10 yrs according to DPI. Also says a population of Brooks.
Of course, there's a fair bit of water mixed in with them!
This is a great site to look up spots:

Thanks guys, heading down today & have packed the travel rod. Just hope I get time.
Have some Tassie devils & a few small rapala's I will try.
Let you know how I go.
