We are celebrating getting back out on the water with our Boating Special Edition of Freshwater Fishing!

Our Spring issue #162 of Freshwater Fishing Magazine is out now and packed with great tips and techniques including our new knots series. Wake baits are popular and highly successful lures for cod and bass but rarely rate a mention by trout fishers.  In this cutting-edge piece, Andrew McGovern, outlines his success chasing trophy brown trout using smaller versions of these life-like presentations. Lubin Pfeiffer introduces us to the town of Curlwaa and its fishing potential. There are certain sections along his local stretch of river which usually yield a hit, boof or swirl from a big Murray cod. Toby Grundy explains. Matthew Taylor discusses a favourite waterway. Ben O’Brien explores the differences between fishing Glo Bugs and lures on the brown trout spawn run of the Snowy Mountains. Trevor Hawkins discusses the unique value of the most heavily fished, yet in a few cases ‘under-protected’ day trip trout waters for city-based anglers.  The Mary River is a very popular system to target large saltwater barra during the run-off season in the Northern Territory as Chris Errity explains. In this, his first article, Billy Auldist shares his passion for chasing freshwater blackfish, a unique native freshwater fish. Brendon Spicer discusses frog lures and fishing them. Nathan Huizing shares some knowledge on fishing a Tasmanian lake that often goes under the radar.

Description

In this issue, #165 of Freshwater Fishing Australia magazine, Andy McGovern outlines some timely tips on how to lure fish smarter, rather than harder, when targeting cod, golden perch and trout. Dave Magner takes look at a much misunderstood and often underrated native species through the eyes of a fly fisher. The South Alligator River is one of the NTs most famous rivers that produces amazing fishing during the run-off according to Chris Errity who takes us for a run on this iconic river. Trevor Hawkins discusses the origins of Australian flies and considers why there is little experimental and ‘novelty’ fly tying in this country compared to our booming handcrafted lure industry. Toby Grundy outlines the tactics he uses for targeting cod on the ledges with the one lure that always seems to give anglers an edge over the fish no matter the conditions. Robert Veld thinks outside the square and discovers a freshwater bait that’s not only easy to find but is incredibly productive on an array of species. Ben O’Brien visits the Murrumbidgee River to chase a dream, revealing some valuable tips along the way.  Trevor Hawkins discusses some remote and not so remote stream fishing options available in the Snowy Mountains for those that wish to venture beyond the big lakes. Trevor Hawkins tries to unravel the importance of mayflies for Australian stream trout. Bryn Mathew explains how simple and effective hacks will make your swimbaits more versatile and lead to more strikes in more situations. Trevor Hawkins has a fireside chat with Philip ‘Pip’ Clement, an angler with immense fishing knowledge, humility and a keen eye for building wonderful hooked creations with fur and feathers. Everyone’s pitching in to ensure Macquarie perch make a comeback in Victoria and beyond, as Marc Ainsworth from the Victorian Fisheries Authority explains. Bill Classon explains that choosing the right lure colour for a fishing situation or session on the water can make a big difference.  Plus of course, there’s all the latest gear, reviews and more that you’ve come to expect from Australia’s top fishing magazine.
