Snow Falling, Fishing the Edges for BIG Yabby Munching Browns

Lee's back in the Snowy Mountains doing what he does best – chasing massive brown trout at Lake Eucumbene, the waterway he grew up fishing. The lake’s rising, the yabbies are on the march, and Lee's figured out a deadly soft plastic technique that’s putting the big ones in the boat.

Armed with a Keitech Crazy Flapper – a yabby-style creature bait – Lee shows how to rig it on a stand-up jig head, so the flappers sit up in perfect attack position. He gives a quick how-to for fishing it, then sets to work… and the results speak for themselves. Big fish after big fish, all patrolling through shallow, muddy banks and feeding hard.

There’s snow on the ramp, ski goggles on Lee’s face, and trout coming aboard in icy perfection. And when he guts the fish to show you what they’ve been feeding on, it’s no surprise – yabbies, the exact size and colour of the Crazy Flapper. He gives a quick demo on gutting and bloodline removal for those looking to prep their catch like a pro.

It’s textbook winter trout fishing, and Lee throws the book at them.
