With blue skies, high barometer and warm weather today I could hear the fishing rod calling.....been a long Winter break and I was itching to get out fishing today. So dug up some worms, packed the car and headed for Millgrove.
The Yarra was looking good and I had high hopes for a fish or two.........how quickily those hopes were dashed.
Spent two hours soaking worms, across multiple sections of river with only a couple of very small bites.
Decided to give SP's a go, flicked for another hour, managed to lose 6 SP's, and still no fish to show for it.
Had to head home at that stage. No fish but was better than spending 3 hours sitting around doing nothing.
With the three day weekend coming up, will hopefully get back out and rectify the lack of fish from today's trip.

Re: Yarra @ Millgrove 22nd Sept
Things have been very spasmodic here in Shepparton Chris. People say it will get better when it warms up! In previous years (going back a while) I have caught yellas, redfin and carp right through winter. Numbers caught dwindle a fair bit at times but you still get fish in winter. I am not sure why it is so slow now.

Re: Yarra @ Millgrove 22nd Sept
Thanks Guys
Not too concerned - it was only the first trip out for the season
As the weather warms and the river flow slow, I have no doubt I will get back on to them again

Totally agree Chris. I haven't been able to wet a line for months due to work. The Yarra will fire up shortly.ChrisD wrote:No fish but was better than spending 3 hours sitting around doing nothing.
We have had a lot of cold mornings Jim so that could be a factor. The yellas are starting to move. Spoke to a chap at work tonight who got some good ones out of the river on the weekend, the best about 5 pounds.April Fool wrote:Things have been very spasmodic here in Shepparton Chris.

I was up at Millgrove on Saturday arvo. I found it tough going also, only landed one small brown and dropped another.
Had a mate hit the Warburton area on Sunday. He caught quite a few trout and believes the fish were fired up because of the rain we had overnight.
