Spent friday through sunday last fishing the Glenelg River down at nelson on the Vic/SA border with lures and flies chasing basically anything that swam. There are plenty of fish in the river but they are widespread.
There seem to be good numbers of smaller 500mm Mulloway about and a few were taken on hardbody lures up higher in the system.
The baities were getting numerous 42cm+ plus bream mostly on cut and live crab but i was struggling taking them on lures. the one shown was one of the few exceptions.
We were fishing out of a boat which allowed us to search about and try and locate fish but ispoke to a number of anglers who were getting bream and Mulloway on baits from the numerous jetties, especially up around Saplings.
We managed to get a few small EPs on lures and fly but the bigger fish eluded us.
All up it was a great weekend, i got a bit sunburnt, had a few beers with Chewy who drove over from MtGambier and said hello, and i finally took a slightly mulloway of just over 700mm to cap off the weekend.
For those that can manage it, i can highly recommend fishing the Glenelg. It's a great river offering some stunning scenery, terrific boating and kayaking and great wilderness fishing.
