Laanecoorie Res
Hi guys, went out for a look at Laanecoorie Res today. Usually good for reddies and yellows, mostly reds. But nah, before I even pulled up you could see a mass of green algae all around the bank stretching out into deeper water. Total disappointment. We have had just recently some good rain in the last 2 weeks in the area but you wouldn't know it by the looks of things. Didn't even bother stopping to fish. Just went with the misses into the bush nearby and had our lunch, bit if a walk and went home. Bummer.
Not looking flash in Central Vic at the moment.

Re: Laanecoorie Res
Thanks for the report, I am in Castlemaine and experiencing similar disappointment at the moment.. what other reservoirs have you tried recently? I was talking to a fella last night about a decent stream by tallaroop that he says holds some good trout, or at least has in the past. Most success I’ve had lately was at exhibition pass in my canoe with my brother, caught about 10 reddies, 3 of a good eating size. Had a go land based there after that and nothing...
To be honest I’m thinking about moving to a more a fertile environment... but who knows how long it will be til that’s a reality.

Hey mate. How are the Mac Perch going at Expedition pass Res? They were released there a few yes ago now as a trial. Any about? I tried there about a yr ago but no joy. Did hear that it may have been a failure.

Re: Laanecoorie Res
Putting Macca fingerlings in a small reservoir like Expedition Pass which is full of Redfin and with no feeder stream to breed in as well in is a sure way to waste a scarce resource. One really wonders why Vic Fisheries do such a crazy thing when there are many far better places to stock the few Macca fingerlings they produce each year. I have seen a couple of reports of Maccas being caught there on other forums but very few.

Re: Laanecoorie Res
Thats a bugger! If you're keen on the reddies and the odd yella, how about eppalock?

Re: Laanecoorie Res
I caught one Macca there in August, no bigger than 20cm. I have heard the odd report here and there of people catching them of a similar size. Hard to say how they are going, but I only catch Redfin there otherwise.
How is Eppalock fishing at the moment?Redhunter wrote:Thats a bugger! If you're keen on the reddies and the odd yella, how about eppalock?

Re: Laanecoorie Res
Eppalock and Cairn Curren are, and have been, under a blur/green algae alert since mid December last year.
Bugger about Lanacoorie joining the list. Will just fish the Loddon till they all clear up.

Re: Laanecoorie Res
Which sections of the Loddon do you fish? Are any parts near Newstead or even Glenluce worth a try?Kangaron wrote:Eppalock and Cairn Curren are, and have been, under a blur/green algae alert since mid December last year.
