Fishing Victoria Forum

I went fishing at the Upper Coliban on Monday to stretch my fishing legs after the shutdown. Even on a borderline cold day I counted at least eight cars from the carpark and I didn't drive the extra click or so around to the next carpark! It was busy enough so that all my usual spots were taken. I f...

I'll fish one of the Kyneton lakes; probably the Upper Coliban

Although I never fished this section of the Maribynong river I have followed the walking tracks in the area and there some nice pools with five minutes walk further back from the bridge toward Brimbank park.

I was fishing the Upper Coliban a couple of days back and I heard talk of a Cod caught on Yabbies too. I did see something funny though. There was a school of tiny Redfin crowded around a half submerged log and every now and then the Redfin would go ape-shit and jump out of the water. Something big ...

I'm always amazed at how fat these carp are. I regularly get carp in the 50 - 60 cm range fishing the Kyneton lakes, but they are positively anorexic in comparison to these!

When the Malmsbury becomes a muddy pond, I tend to fish the Upper Coliban. The middle of next weeks looks good, I might give the Malmsbury another go while there is still water in it.

The access to the water is pretty good but there are restrictions where you can enter the water and where you can fish. I have read the signs and I cannot make heads nor tails of them. Ah okay. Thanks :tu: I...

I'm a little late with this as I've been run off my feet this week, but I fished the Malmsbury reservoir Monday afternoon/evening. I caught six carp all about 45cm (give or take a few cm) and a brown trout about 15cm. There were insects everywhere and from mid arvo onward the trout were rising every...

@Bugatti I'm metric in the vast majority of things (hell, I teach maths), but fish are commonly expressed in inches. Also, I never accurately measure fish I intend to let go; I net them, snip the line and let them swim away without touching them if possible.
