Eucumbene River Trip 2 - Day 1 - Fishing with Soul, Grant and Rudi - good times

🎣 End of Season Trout Fishing on the Eucumbene River – Trip 2 (Day 1) | Cold Weather, Good Friends & Gold Fish! Joined by my mates Soul, Grant, and Rudi for a cracking end-of-season session on the mighty Eucumbene River in June 2026. Freezing temps, snow on the hills, pushy water, and stunning scenery made for an unforgettable day chasing brown trout before the season closed. In this video: • Morning session on my favorite runs with the Orvis Helios and Euro nymphing setup (glow bugs doing the work!) • First fish of the trip – a beautiful pound-and-a-half brown • Great chats with the boys on the river • High water, sketchy crossings, and epic views • Back to camp for Rudy’s legendary setup, fireplace, and steaks on the hibachi One fish landed but plenty of action, headshakes, and good times with the crew. Perfect way to finish the 2025/2026 trout season! Gear Used: • Rod: Orvis Helios F 10’ 3wt + Stalker Legend 9’ 6wt • Reel: Orvis Hydros + Danielson • Line: Rio Gold + Euro nymphing setup (Pezon Michel, Trout Hunter 6X) • Flies: Copper bead glow bugs If you enjoy cold-weather river fishing, beautiful Australian high country, and genuine fishing mateship, smash that 👍 like button and let me know your best end-of-season memory in the comments!
