Southern Highlands - Nattai River

[Peter K]

Good Afternoon all.

I've made this thread to ask a few questions. I frequent the Southern Highlands, NSW, mainly around Bowral. I've only ever fished saltwater in Syndey and am looking to try freshwater fishing down in the highlands. I would like to try out the Nattai Creek Dam or Lake Alexandra these are the only spots I've heard of holding fish. The dam having bass and the Lake having carp. I've also heard about the Wingacarribe River around Berrima holding carp. Does anybody have some suggestions or knowledge about these areas or something with 10-15minutes of these locations I could catch a fish at. 

 

Additionally, I've never fished fresh so what would be the best baits and or lures to try out. 

 

Kind Regards,

Peter

I'd be asking one of the Merimbula or Eden fishing clubs....it is their home ground.

A mate of mine goes fishing, I think further down at the Snowy & different parts of the Snowy. He is mainly into trout. Does ok.

Try Google it covers that aera.

Good luck.

mangajack, they are quite further south and I don't think they fish this area.
 

Rebel, same thing as mangajack, Snowy is quite a few hours south, very different area there.

 

Thanks for your help though, I'll keep looking around.
