Drifting The Tumut River to Nimbo Fork Lodge I Snowy Valleys Fly Fishing I Huge Brown Trout!

Tom's Outdoors fly fishing guides Mickey Finn and Pat Ryan do the Nimbo drift, fishing the Tumut River from town to Nimbo Fork Lodge. This day was one for the books, with Pat picking himself up a PB brown from an area of the river which will evermore be known as 'Pat's Reverse'. The day concludes at the spectacular Nimbo Fork Lodge with a cold beverage on the verandah overlooking the magical Tumut River.
Nimbo Fork Lodge is a brilliant blend of spectacular natural landscapes, incredible dining and luxury. Book yourself into the lodge for the night and dine with the Three Blue Ducks, who excel in preparing ethical food utilising seasonal local produce. With origins as a fly fishing lodge, combine your stay at Nimbo with a guided day from the team here at Tom's Outdoors, and you'll have yourself one unforgettable experience.

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing. Your fun and happiness levels…through the roof!

Greta video gents, took me down memory lane.
My dad ran a canoe touring company in the 70’s and 80’s on the Tumut (and ‘bidgee), and my brother and I learnt to fish from some of the guests who would come waving these strange long rods over the water where we were floating live grasshoppers we’d caught down a likely looking seam. We grasped early that pulling a hopper from a fly box was a lot less hassle than chasing them down and pinning them to a hook!
40 years later the river looks in fine shape (probably good they got rid of most of the willows).
I’m based in Calgary Alberta now, and the fishing’s pretty good, but it’s always good to get back to your roots, even if it’s only digitally.
I’ll look you up next time I’m back in Aust., and do a float I it you - looks like you guys have it all figured out.

[@TomsOutdoorsFlyFishing]

Glad you enjoyed! Fly patterns have certainly made leaps and bounds in creating realistic-looking flies Haha! The Tumut is indeed looking fantastic, and our guides have nailed it down to a fine art. Keen for a chat or a drift next time you're in Aus!
