KYALITE RIVER REPORT (11/07/10)
iT IS the middle of winter. It has been bitterly cold, days on end of 3 or 4 degrees with the lazy wind thats cuts right through a person. While there has been a few hardy souls getting a bit of camp fire therapy - not a lot to report from the waters edge. The rivers are at winter low, especially the Edward. As usual boating is fine in the Wakool, mainly just below the Edward junction into the Murray ( watch for the rock shelf a mile or so downstream from the Kyalite Bridge) Back in late May the crays started in ubundance. Since then they have slowed down a bit and seem to have moments when they are on the run. If you are here then you will do very well indeed. Fish are quiet, yet last week a couple stayed in the Hotel Caravan Park and they were able to get feed each day - so they were happy. Think worms were the go then. The fish will move as the weather warms up. the days are getting longer already. Don't forget cod closing is AUGUST 31ST. Saturday 28th & Sunday 29th is the last weekend to hunt for Cod before December. You can get you fishing licences and all your bait tackle needs from the Kyalite Pub ( Store). As from July 1st the Kyalite State Forests have been reclassified as REGIONAL PARKS. They are now under the management of National Parks NSW. National Parks have advised that full camping priviledges still apply at Kyalite. You can camp, bring your pets, fish, boat all the good stuff even collect wood for your camp fire. The collection of wood for commercial or personal home use is NOT permitted. Parks have advised they will have inspectors doing spot inspections.
