Hi Thomassssssss I think you were likely fishing in the Expedition Pass Reservoir which is off Golden Point Road. This has been stocked with Maccas and by all reports are doing well there. At least 20,000 Maccas have been stocked there. It must have been a nice surprise.

You can currently target Macquarie perch in the Yarra River and Lake Dartmouth and its tributaries. I suspect that may well change in the not too far distant future.Thomassssss wrote:paulanderson, what are the other 2 places you can legally catch them that you mentioned?
Expedition Pass near Chewton has been stocked and some have survived and grown quite well. It is proposed that it may be a future fishery but is currently no take. I understand that one reason it has not been opened is the survival rate has not been as high as hoped but I haven't heard the results of any recent survey.
Best Wishes

Thanks for the info truedogz. Good to know!
And paulanderson, yes it was a nice surprise, especially when I was expecting to see a reddie on the end of my line.
