25.01.2022 Some sexy spots swimming around at this spot Having a blinder of a day just trying to avoid the heat and stay cool #ssominos #mrfreshwater #insanitytackle #sexyspots #browntrout #troutbum #trout #troutfishing #stream #creek #troutstream #mountainstream #mountainlife #runningwater #serenity #niceandcool #somanyfish
25.01.2022 Water is life as you can see here. So good to see that snow on the far hills and that water pouring out of the hills I'm standing on. As you can see our beautiful bush is slowly coming back to life #batlow #bush #recovering #water #waterislife #wildlife
25.01.2022 Well done NSW fisheries. So good to see tiger trout now officially being stocked in NSW
25.01.2022 A sure sign I don't need to worry about topping the wildlifes water stations up but I'm sure they enjoyed the bit of fresh and dry produce we spoilt them with Thanks for all the rain and snow but let's get onto the lovely warm weather and growing conditions of spring our wildlife need it #wildlife #wildlifecomefirst #foodislife #gotstobedone #batlow #snow #lotsof #snowymountains #arc #animalrescuecooperative #legends
24.01.2022 Blowering dam western foreshore access update/ heads up.
24.01.2022 Some still shots of the Tumut river with no flow today. Very rarely happens so was chuffed to be able to see it with my own eyes. Last couple of shots are of a group of 5 kookaburas that were taking advantage of the situation and were sitting in position to pick off any easy meals trying to get between holes or drifting by. #tumutriver #noflow #eyeopener
24.01.2022 Still plenty about. #snow #lotsof #batlow
24.01.2022 Well you don't see that every day. #tumutriver #noflow
24.01.2022 Tagged Rainbow Trout Yearlings for Blowering Dam! One thousand yearling Rainbow Trout have been stocked into Blowering Dam as part of a long-term stocking strat...egy to combat predation from redfin and to provide information on survival and growth. The fish were produced at DPIs Gaden Trout Hatchery and range from 150mm to 230mm. Blowering is a fantastic native and trout fishery and finding the best size for stocking in the presence of redfin will help to maintain the dam as a great mixed fishery. Recreational fishers who land one of these trout will be rewarded with a Wigston Tassie Devil lure prize in return for their capture information. This information received will help determine survival and growth rates of Rainbow Trout and can be lodged on https://bit.ly/35DSvsa This release is part of our tag recapture program which includes tagged fish releases into Oberon Dam, Lake Lyell, Lake Wallace, Carcoar Dam and Khancoban Pondage. This is another great example of your licence fees at work! Photo credit Rhys Creed.
23.01.2022 Dumping snow in Batlow now. Heaps of snow settled all around the area and its only going to get thicker. No need to travel to the snow fields today. #batlow #snow #snowday #dumpingdown #flakeysnow
22.01.2022 Little miss Batlow as I like to call her. Sorry I'm not sexist but she is way too beautiful to be male #myhometowm #batlow #batlowproud #blanketedinsnow #snow #picturepostcards #whatayear #2020
22.01.2022 Heads up for those making the most of the closing down sale. The Insanity Tackle website is up and running but the check out section is not working so you can jump on there and see what is available and the prices but you will need to PM, email or ring your order through and we will get it sorted for you. #slapwalker #slapwalkers #tripletowpoints #liplesscrankbait #goldenperch #yella #yellowbelly #goldenperchlures #natives #yellowbellylures #yellalures
22.01.2022 The colours of the June long weekend Good luck to those getting their last fix of stunning stream trout this weekend. #themcolours #wildtrout #browntrout #fishnsw #flyfishing #troutstream #mountainstream #trout #troutfishing
20.01.2022 Timely memory Collin Robinson Only a few weeks until the annual trip, fingers crossed the 60 plusers are out in force again
19.01.2022 Another beautifully marked cod on a SSB. For those that missed it earlier we posted this reminder regarding our SSB'S. Sale continues, be sure to grab yourself a bargain. The SSB swim baits as seen pictured in this cods mouth are one of the many products on sale atm during our closing down sale and you can get all 5 colours delivered to your door for just $60. That's just $12 each delivered, you will be hard pressed finding better value than that. Grab some before they are all gone. #insanitytackle #foolthosefinickyfish #ssb #swimbait #codlollies #codlures #codfishing #cod #natives #murraycod #murraycodfishing #greenback #goodoo
17.01.2022 Slap Walkers are another product that is discounted to clear and the yellas are on the bite in our impoundments all over the country at the moment so it makes sense to stock up now not just for this season but for future seasons as once these Slap Walkers colours are gone we will not be restocking them. As you can see in the first pic of two 60 plusers caught in consecutive casts these lipless crankbaits are one of the most proven on the market and consistently get results. ... Some colours and sizes have already sold out but most colours are still available at this stage. There's only a handful of the super popular matt black chartreuse tail coloured 60mm Slap Walkers left but we have good numbers of the 70mm model. Some colours are just $10 a pop but the best deal we are offering at the moment is the 12 for $100 delivered deal, that's 12 randomly selected 60mm Slap Walkers delivered to your door for $100. There's deals on the 70mm models and so many other products as well but there's way too many to list so jump on the website www.insanitytackle.bigcartel.com and check out the rest of them. Just like the Slap Walkers with all our other products we will not be restocking them once sold out so if you have any favourites stock up now before they are all gone forever. Those wanting bulk numbers of any lures Pm me and I will work out an even better price than the already discounted price for you. #bigfish #goldenperch #yellas #slapwalkers #liplesscrankbait #tripletowpoints #fishing #sportfishing #lure #lurefishing #insanitytackle #foolthosefinickyfish See more
17.01.2022 Meet my little mate 'Miss Fatso'. I have 7 different magpie friends on the Batlow golf course and although they all eat out of my hand Miss Fatso takes it to the next level by being super friendly following me around and cheering me on whilst trying to sink clutch putts haha. As you can see she will even greet me in my car upon arrival If you're ever at the Batlow golf course be sure to say hello to Miss Fatso, she lives around the 5th green, 6th tee and 9th fairway are...a. For those wondering what I feed my magpie friends it is a mix of premium mince and a bit of insectivor mixed in with it, they love it and it is a good healthy treat for them. Very occassionally I will give them a little bit of cheese because for some reason they absolutely love it but never give them bread it is not good for them and can cause problems. #wildbird #magpie #missfatso #handfeeding #straya #aussielegend #friendly #misundersood See more
17.01.2022 Our We-chat weedless chatter baits are another product that is selling out quickly. Some colours and sizes have already sold out but there's still a few left fo...r those wanting to grab some before they are all gone forever. #wechat #weedless #chatterbaits #weedlesshooks #goldenperch #australianbass #redfin #perch #murraycod See more
17.01.2022 Bit of light reading for the fishos. This is this month's article in Australian fishing monthly magazine. I cover a bit of everything in there including how social media can influence people's perception of a fishery like Blowering dam. Hope you enjoy and learn a few new tricks. #photographer #journalist #fisherman #jackofalltrades #fishing #fishingmagazine #fishingmonthlygroup #article #batlow #fishingmonthly #magazine #areareport
17.01.2022 Biggest dumping Batlow has had in a long time and it just keeps getting thicker. Over two inches in town already and well over 6 inches up at Pilot hill already. #winterwonderland #batlow #snow #lotsof
17.01.2022 Gut feeling didn't take long to pay off #bloweringdam #angelbait #goldenperch

15.01.2022 Hopefully get the chance to play a bit more golf between fishing trips this year Due to wildlife commitments mostly and a bit of Covid crap I could only squeeze in 4 competitions last year including this one the club championships which I was lucky enough to take out for the 3rd year running. Scores were terrible but it was enough to take out the title. I've given myself some big goals to achieve this year both fishing and golfing related and barring any unforeseen issues/ dramas I'm looking forward to giving them all a shake. Bring on 2021 it's going to be a massive and awesome year #fishgolfrepeat
15.01.2022 Balls deep in a cold mountain stream, what better place to be during a heatwave Anything bright and flashy is getting smashed at the moment and the Bling spins are at the top of the menu. The way the weather is forecast for the next week or so it's going to be hard to get out of that beautiful cool flowing water. #blingspin #browntrout #troutbum #trout #troutfishing #mountainstream #troutstream #creekfishing #stayingcool
15.01.2022 Another lovely day in paradise Already settled and there's plenty more to come. #batlow #snow #snowday
14.01.2022 Snow and kangaroos View from the Batlow lookout at around 3pm today. So good to see what ended up being 7 of my kangaroo mates up there as well. Other than being soaked they are doing well. We are so lucky in Batlow to have wildlife right on our doorsteps. #batlow #batlowlookout #snow #snowday #kangaroos #kangaroo
14.01.2022 Another 10 pack of Angel baits on their way to a clued on angler. Great to see so many of you taking advantage of the 10 x Angel baits for $90 deal. With so many items like the Angel baits on sale it's hard to promote them all so to see the full range of specials check out our website and get onto us with your order before we run out of your favorite lures and products. #angelbait #angelbaits #murraycod #codlollies #murraycodfishing #bigfish #barramundi #barralures #barramundifishing #murraycod #greenback #goodoo #codfishing #cod #natives #careforcod #fishslayer #insanitytackle #foolthosefinickyfish
13.01.2022 Heads up for those planning trips to Blowering dam in the near future.
13.01.2022 Bit of a reality check on just how devastating the NSW summer super fires were. The majority of our states bush, national parks and state forests gone in just months Would've been great if we had some time and resources to deal with its affects and help everyone and everything that needed helping before this Corona crap took everyone's attention, time and energy away
13.01.2022 Bit of colour on a dull day. #insanityplastics #redfin #brightenupyourday #beautifulcolours
13.01.2022 Super early start to the day picking these little babies up. Now to go and release them into their new home and by geez is it a good home. Won't take long to get them to catchable size and if all goes to plan the 2 new private fisheries I'm setting up will be insane. And yes the plan is to start guiding on these private lakes once well established and offer clients a unique fishing option with no worries about crowds or not catching a fish. Fisheries like this are the future for many and something that is desperately needed in this era of most people being time poor and some waterways being so popular it is almost impossible to get an area to yourself. Stay tuned for updates on this cool little venture. #fingerlings #goldenperch #yellowbelly
13.01.2022 SSB'S = Murray cod and for the price we're selling them for at the moment you'd be silly not to fill your tackle boxes with them. Once they are all sold we will not be restocking them so don't miss out. #ssb #swimbait #sinkingswimbaits #murraycod #codlollies #murraycodfishing #greenback #goodoo #codfishing #cod #natives
12.01.2022 Some still shots of the beautiful snow in Batlow. Time to rug up and let the big kid inside of me do he's thing #batlow #snow #lotsof #snowymountains #notabadbackyard #noneedtotravel
11.01.2022 A stack of postcard worthy snow shots from the surrounding forests of Batlow today. There's a stack more forecast tonight and tomorrow morning so there will be plenty to see tomorrow for those keen to get up and have a look themselves. #postcards #picturepostcards #batlow #forests #snow #burnttrees #bush #australia
11.01.2022 Our shallow smashing twin curl tails are also on sale for just $8 a pack atm. Silly not to stock up on them with the spring shallow water fishing season about to start.
10.01.2022 Spring snow Batlows surrounding hills are packed with snow and although it hasn't quite settled in town yet were expecting to wake up to plenty of settled white stuff. The water tables are chockers full already but this dumping is welcomed as it will fill all those dams that haven't been full in years. Should be a great spring/ summer season ahead #batlow #snow #lotsof #springsnow
10.01.2022 Standing in the middle of the Tumut river and I'm not even getting my toes wet haha. #tumutriver #noflow
09.01.2022 So good to see a few of these beast breeders in the system #bigbreeders #greatsigns
08.01.2022 It's not everyday you get to see a metre long Murray cod sip your ryvita bickys off the surface This very poor conditioned 30 year old fish along with his mates have done it tough for a while now but I have a new food rich home for them and I will be relocating them to greener pastures very soon #feedingmurraycod #murraycod #greenback #goodoo #skinnymetrey #soontobesaved
08.01.2022 Pretty sure snow flakes don't get much bigger than that. Already settled on the surrounding hills and still plenty more to come to. #batlow #anothersnowday #megaflakes
05.01.2022 With the consistant flow of PMs coming through seeking information on Blowering dam yellas at the moment I thought it would be timely to share this Podcast I did with Greg Vinall from Doclures. The feedback from previous listeners has been amazing so I'm sure even the best anglers will get some helpful tips from this Podcast. There's heaps of helpful tips and proven tricks I cover during the session that will surely help you catch more of those elusive giant golden perch Blowering dam is famous for. I'm doing another Podcast with Greg next week, this time I'm sharing the hot oil on how to catch carp consistently on soft plastics. Keep your ears out for that one in coming weeks and I hope you enjoy the podcast.
05.01.2022 You guys aren't mucking around. We have completely sold out of all 3 60mm matt black signature series Slap Walker colours and there arent many of the 70mm model...s left either. We still have some 60mm Slap Walkers in stock in other colours but zero 60mm matt black signature series Slap Walkers. Get in quick if you want some of the last 70mm signature series models as the way they're selling they will be all gone forever very soon. #slapwalker #slapwalkers #tripletowpoints #liplesscrankbait #signatureseries #goldenperch #yella #yellowbelly #goldenperchlures #natives #yellowbellylures #yellalures See more
04.01.2022 This will test Batlows water filtration systems. Lucky we have it or we'd all have chocky milk coming out of our taps for a while. #batlow #reservoir #ressy #townwater #chockymilk
04.01.2022 Want to help neglected, abused and/ or mistreated animals but don't know how or think you don't have the time? Maybe consider fostering, it's very easy, no long term commitments and you help get these little guys out of cages and kick start their new lives whilst they wait for the perfect owner to come and adopt them. It's unbelievably rewarding watching these little guys come out of their shells whilst in your care and like I said it's not much of a commitment but it makes a massive difference in these animals lives and personalities. I'm pretty sure we are in need of dog Foster carers as well so if dogs are more your thing and you'd like to help get onto Smarts and start making a difference
03.01.2022 We thought that we were all out of the matt super lemon coloured Slap Walkers but we just found a box that we put in a safe place during the fires and only just... stumbled across it. There's not many of them so they will go quick but there's a few of each size for those that have been chasing this particular colour for a while now. As you can see this particular colour is a standout when targeting trout. #bonus #luckyfind #pleasantsurprise #trout #rainbowtrout #slapwalkers #liplesscrankbait #tripletowpoints #foolthosefinickyfish #insanitytackle See more
03.01.2022 This has got me keen to get the 8 weight out for a bit of cod on fly action again.
03.01.2022 Just clearing some fish pics off the phone. Redfin in this lot. Check out the tenth pic, don't see them like that too often. Only ever caught two with the reverse stripe colouration, one at Blowering and one at Jounama. May have caught more but only ever noticed the two. Have you ever caught any like this? Post your pics if you have #redfin #perch #englishperch #insanityplastics #yabblades #snowymountains #foothillsofthesnowymountains
03.01.2022 As some of you know I recently started a new job doing something that I am super passionate about and that's helping animals in need at Smarts animal sanctuary and rehoming centre. I absolutely love helping all animals both domestic animals and wildlife as they can't speak for themselves or protect themselves and need people protecting them from the worst predators of all 'humans'. It's unbelievable how many pets are abused and/or neglected and there isn't much in place in t...Continue reading
03.01.2022 Made the most of it and braved the freezing conditions today. We did some k's and hit a few different trout streams and were rewarded with some nice fish amongst the countless little tackers. Last day of the season tomorrow and you guessed it were going again to officially get our last fix. Fingers crossed the fishing gods are as kind to us tomorrow as they were to us today #trout #troutseason #ohwhataseason #browntrout #troutbum #troutstream #creekfishing #insanityflies #mrfreshwater #fishingguide #guide #mrs_freshwater
01.01.2022 Old report from this time of the year at Windamere dam. Could still be handy for those venturing that way anytime soon.
01.01.2022 The weather is never boring in Batlow that is for sure. Another cold blast coming and possibly snow. This often extreme mountain life isn't for everyone but I freaking love it. #landofextremes #mountainlife #batlow #foothillsofthesnowymountains
01.01.2022 With only a few days until trout opening in Victoria and less than a month until NSW trout opening now would be a very good time to get yourself a copy of Luring for wild trout and learn how to catch even more trout this season. On top of being jam packed with handy info this DVD is amazing entertainment full of increadible hook ups and an Australian first that has to be seen to be believed. Unfortuntely the Mr Freshwater website is down but you can order a copy directly from us via Pm or email. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxff71cT_JU
