Currawong Lakes offers a premium fly fishing experience across three breathtaking freshwater lakes. Thriving populations of wild Brown and Rainbow Trout, and exceptional hatches of insect life, create a thrilling challenge for novice and experienced anglers alike.
Currawong Lake
The largest lake on the property, offering two distinct habitats for true trophy fish. Long and narrow, one shore is characterised by tussocky paddock, while the other is protected by native forest, with wild Brown Trout tailing the edges and shallows.
Long Marsh Lake
Boasting 32 acres of freshwater, Long Marsh Lake accommodates the highest self-sustaining population of fish on the property. Prolific shoreline weed growth hosts millions of midges, mayflies and damsels, creating an environment ripe for the angler.
Lake Macquarie
The smallest lake on the property, Lake Macquarie enjoys protection from the wind and regular glass-out conditions. Large fish are clearly visible as they patrol the deeper sections of the lake, well within casting range for the dry fly purist.
Fly fishing can be a daunting prospect for those starting out with so many different elements to consider.
Investing in a guide or spending time with an experienced fly fisher can be the highly valuable to establishing a fly fishing career. Get in touch with Matt and Trout Tales - we're always happy to help new anglers in their journey!
For dry flies a selection of mayfly imitations such as Possum Emergers as well as other general flies such as Red Tags and Royal Wolfs is a good start. Whilst wet flies such as Woolly Buggers and Streamers are consistently productive.
