Finally i can contribute! If you want to try something slightly different and enjoy a trip at the same time, cruise up to Falls Creek about 5pm. Have an early-ish dinner at one of the resteraunts then head down to Pretty Valley Dam about an hour before sunset. You'll come to a fork in the road, one ...

Bugger, thanks for that!

That's a beautiful bit of river mate, very much my style!

Thanks guys, i'll try a combination of all of these things. Definately looking at spinning the stretch of murray between the wall and albury and also the lake itself as an absolute minimum. I'll keep a log in the freshwater fishing section in here and see how we go. Crazy excited for this now, just ...

Thanks for the responses guys i appreciate the help.

According to the fisheries stock list (which i found thanks to thi...

Thanks mate, i have everything i just want to replace the line on my old spinning rods. I seem to remember Daiwa as a decent brand but can't seem to think of the other one.

Doug here, Haven't been fishing in nearly 15 years.

The new GF has a place at lake Hume and i have a couple of questions if anyo...
