Not a lot around Ringwood itself, if you can get to Lilydale lake you may have some luck. Personally I have not caught them there but others have.
Otherwise most spots along the Yarra will have them with some hunting.
There was whispers of Ringwood lake holding some....back in the day.....but I doubt anything lives in there anymore.

Theres reddies in ringwood lake but average size is around 5-10cm. Jells park has some, but Rowville is your best bet nearby. Lilydale is good too but further away

Some little lakes in the Ringwood area definitely hold some carp, but I haven't read or heard too much on the redfin front. Best bet might be to cast around some lures and see if you get any takers.
