A Catch and Release ticket for Siblyback. Siblyback is regularly stocked with Rainbow Trout averaging between 1.4 to to 2.5lb with lots of fish over 2.5lb+ and some even larger. It's renowned for fantastic early season sport with high rod averages and hard fighting fish. There can be some great dry fly fishing from both boat or bank with the Hawthorn and Cochy-bondhu beetle hatches. The resident population of browns are catch and release only. The places that tend to hold the most fish are Two Meadows, Crylla Bay, Stocky Bay and North Shore although you will catch fish all round the lake. Floating lines are a firm favourite, however in the right conditions, sink tip and intermediate lines can take their fair share of fish.
