(Yes, I did catch it on a hook)

Catch and release ok, moreover a bag limit of 5 applies.

Open top lift nets were made legal in Victoria a few years ago. I would expect them to be clearly superior for yabbies comparing to traditional drop nets, but apparently no one sells them. Did anyone try them, any feedback? http://agriculture.vic.gov.au/fisheries/recreational-fishing/permitted-fishi...

Is the main car park still the only way in? last time I was there all gates at the sides of the lake were locked.

don't have one, but it would be around $40 plus delivery from the uk or the usa

excellent find, the lake does look very pretty.

i reckon the countrywide cottage dam is the lower lake:



But there seems to be public access to the upper lake off the Coalmine rd:

Does anyone know anything about it? Can you fish there?
