Has anyone been having any joy at either Rowville or Lilydale lakes of late?
Been a while since I fished either, wondering if it is worth planning a trip.

Re: Rowville / Lilydale lakes
I've fished both and caught nothing. Rowville you probably want to hit within a month of it being stocked. It's too hot in there for trout (it's shallow) and the redfin dont' seem to like my lures.
Lilydale i haven't actually heard of anyone catching anything in since they drained it but i've only been there a couple of times. Someone else with more experience should be able to offer better advice but from what i understand dam wall for spinners and any of the drains up the other end for baits.
I had a look at the stream underneath it as well but it was getting dark and i haven't had a crack in there yet.

Re: Rowville / Lilydale lakes
Thanks Dougie. I tried the stream below the out flow at Lilydale once. All it resulted in was lost lures and no bites.
