There are a few routes to take when travelling from Jindabyne to Adaminaby, in the essence of time I chose the path of least resistance; cutting across from Berridale via Middlingbank Rd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A quick stop around half way along Middlingbank Rd to collect some firewood in prep for camping at Denison. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The current agenda being a couple nights at Anglers Reach for which I wanted to maximise fishing time over a search for wood time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On arriving to destination Anglers Reach I wished I’d chosen to camp over the accomodation!
It was pretty woeful and much pricier than what felt like resort style living at Jindabyne to make a comparison. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After pulling up the doona and noting what looked like either chip crumbs or skin flakes underneath, I made the executive decision to return the doona to original state, grab my sleeping bag and push the pillows to the side.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anglers Reach is quite temperate, the forecast temp v the feels like temp observes quite a large standard deviation!
I can report that I had the heater pumping!<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before long I was fast asleep, looking forward to fishing the ‘Euc’ at Providence Portal next morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Providence<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Providence Portal just doesn’t disappoint! Without fail every time I’m here it feels like I’ve been teleported to a mythical place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being a Thursday I had to take full advantage as there were only a few fishers about, knowing full well this was going to change the next day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And boy did the Euc produce…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Trophy<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Brown<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"trophy<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I lost count of the number of brown trout I saw and landed, the only real disappointment being a bust off on the fish of a lifetime. But that’s the way fishing goes, and there’s always next year! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On a very positive note, the new Sage Igniter 6wt scored a proper christening, fishing in this environment it excelled \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If I haven’t previously mentioned it; Providence portal at this time of year is an amazing place, if you remove the weekend chaos of fisher folk flogging a dead horse it feels quite surreal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Where<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And of course it wouldn’t be a trip without a work call…<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And that closes out this part of the trip, next up the final leg – a couple nights camping at Denison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
