ovens river Fishing Report 2025

heavy snow today, what were we thinking going out? not much happening aside from freezing! i did bring in a tiny brook trout but that’s it. used a jig and it barely worked. it was more about survival than fishing and we got cold fast. I think ill stick to warmer days!

I heard it was gonna be sunny but boy was it cold!! only caught 1 little trout today but I’m just glad to be out. used a light rod and some powerbait. wind was a bit much though, felt like my fingers were about to fall off haha. still had fun with friends, that’s what counts!

rain was heavy today and it felt like I was fishing in a waterfall! didn’t get much action till late afternoon, but landed a couple of decent rainbows. they were pretty feisty, especially in this weather! used a small spinner and boy they seemed to love it. can't say i want to do that again anytime soon tho!

So today was a bit sketchy, patchy rain kept coming and going but it was alright! managed to catch a decent sized brook trout, about 4 lbs! used a purple soft plastic worm which worked wonders. the wind picked up a little, but nothing I couldn't handle. fished hard and it paid off!

wasn’t sure about today with some rain hangin around, but we tried our luck at ovens. caught 2 small browns, nothing big but felt good to be out. used my old baitcaster with a small minnow. it didn’t pour but just enough to keep things interesting! weather was crazy but we made some memories.
