Field Trips and Social Events

Streamside Stays & Field Program
OBERON
The Society has secured rights for the exclusive use of a cottage in the Oberon area on a stream and also having access to a stocked farm dam for a weekend most months of the season. The dates of these weekends are:

The 2009/10 FRESHWATER FISHING season opened on OCTOBER 3rd 2009

On the banks of the Fish River Creek at Penarth we have secured a self catering cottage which caters for six people, has three bedrooms and one bathroom. BYO bed linen and towels. Cost per head is $30.00 per night.

Penarth has approximately 4 to 5 kilometres of fishable creek frontage on Fish River creek which is the only spawning stream for Oberon Dam. In past years the creek on Penarth fished very well in the early season with many good sized lake rainbows and browns from the Oberon Dam still present after their winter spawning runs. Water condition is dependant on rainfalls, can be anything from low and clear to high and discoloured.   In addition to the creek fishing, there is a farm dam which is regularly stocked.  The rainbow fingerlings stocked there in February are now of legal size.

Dates for Penarth are:

16th and 17th (inclusive) April 2010
14th and 15th (inclusive) May 2010
22nd and 23rd (inclusive) October 2010
12th and 13th (inclusive November 2010

JINDABYNE

Lakeside accommodation at ‘PLATYPUS TOWNHOUSE’ has in the past always been booked to coincide with the Cooma Land Owners Annual Dinner which is usually held in November. The cottage is usually booked for seven nights in total and whilst it would be preferable for members and their guests to stay seven nights it is not essential - short stays are welcome but subject to availability. The Lodge accommodates six people in three bedrooms and two bathrooms with bed linen and towels provided. Cost per head is $40.00 per night.

In the past years, the river fishing in the Thredbo River in November has been excellent with large numbers of late spawning rainbows and many resident browns present. The quality of the lake fishing depends on the lake levels – in turn driven by winter snowfalls – but normally offers good daytime polaroiding along the shore line. Plus, of course, unlimited early morning/evening/night fishing right outside the lodge!

2010 date TBA.
