24.01.2022 Howdy Folks, well its been a wild few days here at Braemar with very very windy conditions and then freezing cold, unfortunately most people here for the weekend had to endure the worst of what the Snowies can offer, for those that stuck it out have been rewarded with some fine catches yesterday and today. Peter Giles caught a magnificent 1730 gms Brown on a Black Mudeye Pattern over in Jox, Robert Argoon from Pakenham along with Steve, formed the remnants of the Belgrave Boy...s this year, they braved the conditions on Sunday for a nice Brown and then followed it up today with a fine Brown of 1650gms and a very fat 1100gms Brown, all caught over Jox way on powerbait and worms, well done guys. Conditions have tempered a bit now with the area expecting fine calm conditions for the next 3 days, the Lake is slowly clawing its way back and now sits at 37.83% after reaching 38.45% about 3 weeks ago after lowering to 37.81% a few days ago. The fishing is very good for all methods right now, just about everyone making a trip are getting amongst the fish which is great to see after a few lean years. See more

23.01.2022 Howdy Folks, fine and sunny conditions at Braemar for the past couple of days with a pesky breeze still having an influence every now and then, generally conditions have been good for fishing though and some results are coming in now on a regular basis, Michale Dale ventured out with Vic Roberts and managed a typical Brown around 500gms on Tuesday and another on Wednesday, Vic also managed a Rainbow of similar size trolling a worm behind a ford fender, both anglers are holdin...g a sample of recent catches here, but the feature catch from today goes to Shirley Worledge who managed a very nice Brown of 1172 gms cleaned using a Bleeding Frog Tassie (#112) caught near the entrance to Jox Cove, it was the first outing for Shirley in 9 months, Peter and Natalie Thompson from Albury caught a mix of 5 Rainbows around near Coppermine this afternoon using the discontinued #14 Tassie Devil, well done to all. The Lake continues to rise and now sits at 35.87%, the forecast is for some weekend rain, not a lot, but enough to be a nuisance by the sounds of it, hopefully results continue to be encouraging so make a trip here and take advantage of the deal on cabins running until the end of next week for new bookings.

23.01.2022 More Braemar action today with our Victorian friends making up for lost time, Jason and Bert De Jager got amongst some nice Rainbows on their trip, pictures below, well done guys, sorry I didn;t get to catch up, Stephen and Cassandra were at it again this morning with a mix of 6 fish caught trolling in front of the Park, once again #112 doing the job, well done everyone.

22.01.2022 Howdy Folks, "she's a coming around the bend", the water is sneaking around into Andy's Inlet for the first time since 2017, still quite a way to go to be of any benefit to anglers and boat people for mooring purposes, but it is an encouraging sign indeed, water level now sits at 36.80%. Nice sunny mild conditions at Braemar for the past few days with a sometimes tricky breeze but generally conditions have been good for both land based anglers as well as for the boats, catche...s are becoming more regular also with both Browns and Rainbows very active at the moment both close in to the banks and also trolling at depths around 3m, Eric Flynn had a magic afternoon catching 2 nice Browns on #112 Bleeding Frog as did Oleg and son Max encountering some nice Browns and Rainbows casting from the Bank using Rowley's Riot # 89, meanwhile Vic and Shirley had a leisurely morning in the sun, "Not much room left on the table" after picking some mushrooms.

21.01.2022 Howdy Folks, the Lake continues to rise and now sits at 38.28% with more rain to come in the next couple of days, so the trend continues, the fishing, particularly trolling has picked up, Peter Seary managed a nice Brown last week during his visit as part of the Mittagong gang, well done Peter, also Will Edgar becomes a 3rd generation family member of the Maguire clan to fish at Braemar, pictured here with a typical Brown caught last weekend, well done Will, right now there i...s a dedicated group of anglers visiting as what would have been the annual Melbourne Cup event which had to be cancelled this year, reports suggest that some anglers are doing well, there should be more detailed reports coming in over the next few days, meanwhile Ben Wright a very nice 2.3kg plus tagged Rainbow this morning over in Collingwood Bay, well done Ben. The Victorians will be able to visit Braemar again from November 24th, this is the first day Victorians can visit Braemar, dates before November 24th are still under restrictions for travel and self isolation, so all our Victorian friends and supporters please be aware of this, we look forward to welcoming you all back. Just an update for people trying to book accommodation online, please do not attempt to do this, all bookings must be made via phone for the time being thanks. See more

20.01.2022 Howdy Folks, weather conditions are a bit challenging right now across the Snowy Mountains with very strong winds and storms being the feature over the past 24 hours, prior to that though fishing had generally been OK with some nice catches coming in from all methods. The Falasca boys did well on their mini trip with nice Browns and Rainbows caught on fly morning and evening, Jason Whitacker and Peter Cody have also enjoyed some decent action fly fishing around the edges with Browns up to 1.5kg caught so far, Stephen Reynoldson managed a red hot session just after the first wave of storms on Saturday night catching 5 fish casting mudeyes, the best being 1564gms, but the talk of the Park is the 766gms Rainbow caught by Neal Watson from Dalmeny which is a tagged fish, hopefully it brings a decent prize for Neal, well done everyone.

13.01.2022 Howdy Folks, well the rain and storms continue across the district, we picked up another 32 mm of rain this past week and the Lake now sits at 37.65%, conditions are wet everywhere so be careful when launching, very slippery down there. The Mittagong gang completed their annual event braving the conditions and enjoying each others company, it seems everyone caught fish which is a great result, the "Maybee" boat being the outstanding performer across the fleet !!!!!! The Simon... and Wayne show provided some pics of their outings, thanks guys. Just on a side note, there will probably be sporadic reports and updates to the Facebook page over the next few weeks, so if you have any pics or comments to make suitable for the page send them along to my mobile please and I will post when I can, that number can be obtained from the office, Joe will be onboard at the office for possibly a few weeks so please be understanding as he tries to navigate, looking forward to catching up soon.

08.01.2022 Howdy Folks, well the good fishing continues at Braemar, particulalry flyfishing with good catches coming in from many different anglers over recent days, Peter Giles managed 2 fine Rainbows this morning using a small black nymph at Andy's Inlet just near the pontoon, well done Peter, Craig Pryce from Toormina caught his first Braemar Brown of about 1kg on a small black matuka on Thursday, well done Craig. The only reports coming in this week all related to flyfishing with ve...ry good action happening about an hour before sunset on most nights, the mudeyes seem to have hatched early and the fish are onto them, so its worth trying the traditional mudeye patterns, after dark Wooly Buggers seem to be the go to fly right now, some very decent fish have been spotted close in cruising in mid morning sunlight, just seeing such fish is usually good enough, the weather next week will be a bit wet it seems but the fish wont mind that, the Lake is still reducing slightly and now sits at 37.74%. On a personal note, today is my last day at Braemar, sold up and moving out for good with a return to Victoria, been a lot happening that conflicts with my ability to provide the services our valued customers and the business deserves, its been a great ride for the past 15 years, many friendships and aqaintances and I will miss you all, I will be back for social visits but not likely before Easter, to you all, please have good luck and good health and most importantly good fishing.

07.01.2022 Howdy Folks, I hope everyone is well, just a quick note if you could pass it around, the Facebook page is not being monitored right now, well, actually hasn't been since my departure, if you know of anyone wanting info for or about anything to do with Braemar can you ask them to contact the office on 0264568805 Thanks.

06.01.2022 Howdy Folks, Merry Christmas to everyone and thank you very much for all the kind messages and comments, just a quick note, I lost my phone and of course all of the contacts with it, have a replacement now with the same number, so all of you who have my mobile number please fire off a sms or quick call so I can add your numbers into my new phone, have a great holiday season and good fishing and luck to you all. Peter P.

05.01.2022 Howdy Folks, well its been a week of variations both in weather and fishing results, there were about 70 people onsite for the long weekend and most found the fishing a bit tough, the wind did no favours either with very blustery conditions right up until yesterday (Thursday), always nice to catch up with our regulars and hope to see everyone again soon. There has been 39mm of rain over the past week and the Lake continues to rise, now sitting at a tad over 34.5%, still a bit... miserbale right now (Friday Afternoon) but the next few days should see an improvement, so hopefully the fishing will improve. Nathan Isedale sent along a pic of a Brown he caught over the weekend, thanks for that and the guys in cabin #9 who are first time visitors to Braemar have done reasonably well with 9 fish already in the bag, pictured below are Nathan's Brown along with Tom, Peter and Mark with a sample of the Browns they have caught here at Braemar, well done everyone.

05.01.2022 Howdy Folks, finally some fine conditions here at Braemar over the past couple of days although that pesky wind is still a nuisance influence every now and then, the Lake is looking fantastic and is still rising nicely now sitting at 35.55% which is a 1.5% increase over last week, the fish continue to be a bit elusive although most anglers are now encountering fish on their outings, Peter Giles managed a nice Brown around 800gms on Sunday after stalking the cruiser in shallow... water on the east bank of Jox, the fish took a size 16 Griffiths Knat, well done Peter, The Vikings from Canberra had mixed results for their weekend trip although some very decent fish were caught, photo's to follow hopefully, Damian Garbutt had some luck early Saturday before the wind took hold, Damian also had some unfortunate car trouble, hope everything turns out OK Damian, your personal items are being taken care of, hope to see you back here soon under better circumstances. More midweek rain forecast for the district so the Lake should continue its upward trend, all we need now is for the fish to turn up, we are running deals on cabins and houses for the next 2 weeks, stay 7 days and pay for 6 at a reduced rate, stay for 5 days and pay for 4, contact the office for details .

04.01.2022 Howdy Folks, 29 mm of rain last week which is helping to ensure the Lake keeps on rising, now sitting at 36.48% and looking good, there was a bit more fish action over the past few days with some fine catches coming in, trolling continues to be the most successful method accounting for most fish although there is now considerable actvity around the banks with cruisers being noticed along the Braemar foreshore and around into Jox, the cruisers are still a bit nervous it seems ...but at least they are out and about having a sticky beak and with fine weather coming our way for the next few days should only improve chances for anglers, unfortunatelly though it appears rain is headed our way just in time for the weekend making it the 6th weekend in a row with rain. Peter Thompson managed a very nice Brown of 1663gms using a min min lure on one of his outings over the weekend and his partner Nat managed a very nice Brown this morning, both pictured below, well done as first time visitors to Braemar. Vic Roberts had an active session today (Monday) encountering 5 fish whilst trolling around near the Dam Wall Sanctuary Cove area, lots of fight in the fish he hooked into as well as some challenging situations with his tackle and equipment, it was a successful trip though with a fine Rainbow brough back to camp, well done everyone.

04.01.2022 Howdy Folks, fine sunny weather here at Braemar right now, very good fishing conditions and the fish are out and about as well with most anglers encountering some sort of action each session, fly is really starting to come on as well with Midge hatches now a feature from mid afternoon, so that will only get better. Puzzling to see the water level dropping slightly over the past week or so, the feed in from Tantangara is still happening so its a mystery why the water would be disappearing seeing everyone has had decent rains, anyway, thats Snowy Hydro and NSW Water for you. Stephen Roberts along with neice Cassandra managed 3 nice fish on this morning's troll, all caught on the trusty 112 Bleeding Frog, Grandpa Vic tagged along for the photo shoot, well done guys.

03.01.2022 Take up the challenge, stay at Braemar Bay Holiday Park during October 2020 and April 2021 for a chance to be in the running for some great prizes, special deals on cabins and houses for 4 days or more who mention this Challenge for all dates except Dec 15th 2020 to Jan 15th 2021, or Easter week 2021, contact us on 0264568805 to make a booking.

02.01.2022 Howdy Folks, the wet conditions have continued with rain and drizzle the feature these past few days, only managed 6c on Monday under drizzly sky and light winds, hardly good conditions for anyone but it did not deter the Mittagong Gang who are here for their annual get together, most anglers have had some success as proven by Glen James with this fine brown caught trolling on Monday weighing 1593gms cleaned, well done Glen. Cruising Browns and Rainbows are often visible to b...ank anglers now with many lure anglers becoming frustrated at the chases but no hook ups, it wont be long before the fish are on, so if you have spare time visit here in a cabin or house and try your luck, our deal month continues into November. The Lake is now sitting at 37.45% and with very heavy falls in the catchment area over the past week this trend should continue See more
