Spot on red hunter it’s a waste of money.
For me it’s similar to you mate getting out enjoying nature and switching off except I get pissed off with doughnut sessions.

Doughnut sessions should not get you angrier dude, they should get you hungrier!!!! In other words, it makes you concentrate harder on your fishing goal, and makes you think less of your "real world issues".... Well, for a little while at least

It does make me work harder and the rewards greater.

So boat ramps are free. Some lakes are now open to kayak and non powered boat. But what about the access?
We heard of upper colliban.
What about lakes like Hepburn, that kinda surrounded by private property, the access is by walking through, no easy kayak launching place.
Devilbend long walk (and incline/decline) is putting off too. And no full access either.

Hey Seb, there is vehicle access to Hepburn lagoon from Daylesford-Clunes Road, you just need to open and close the gate behind you as there a free roaming sheep in the paddock

Correct, park next to that little shed thing. From memory it would be an easy launch with no steps, I could be wrong though. A mate had already launched his PA14 by himself when I got there so you should be fine with your yak. I never put my kayak on the water there as two days after it opened I arrived to see signs that on water access was closed due to the water level being at 100%.

I have no idea about newlyn.
