[bigwatkins]

just a quick one guys,

is it compulsory to wear a life jacket when in a kayak ?? even in inland lakes??

I've been told yes but I've watched several tv shows where they don't

im headed up to ballarat to fish the lake and don't own one soooo........

My understanding is for a kayak inland waters you must wear either a type 1 or type 2 in victoria I can't speak for other states. I sometimes break the rules myself I often fish alone and I don't always wear my lifejacket when moving .

in short Yes it may be a pfd 1 - 2 or 3 - PFDs are compulsory for kayak or Canoes in any and all waters in Vic
