Fishing Victoria Forum

Wandered up to Millgrove this evening to see what was biting.
Was disappointed on arrival to find that there must have been a water release from one of the dams upstream as the river was easily up 12inches on the normal Summer level.
Straight away I had my doubts anything would be biting, but after the drive out there I dropped a couple of baits all the same.
1.5 hours in and finally a bite - landed a nice redfin. The first was followed with a second 5 mins later.
The rest of the evening went dead without so much as another nibble.
But a two fish trip was worth the drive......and time spent beside the river fishing is never wasted

Only big point of annoyance - was some clowns swimming up river a bit.....the swimming in the river didn't worry me, it was the empty beer bottles that kept floating by that were annoying.

Nice report and pics :thumbsup:

Awesome Redfin, and agreed, any fishing sitting and enjoying the surrounds is never a waste.

we must shop at the same store , , , , I have the same T towels, minus the Redfin unfortunately

Nice fish Chris. What bait were you using?

Nice fish mate

Good reddies Chris - you are king of catching them in the yarra!

Good old compost worms - they are my go to bait for pretty well every species in the Yarra, from Warbuton all the way to the city.
If I manage to find scrub worms I use them but they are few and far between in the garden.
As always I have tried lures - with Redfin and trout on offer it is always worth a crack - however I am fairly terrible with lures so generally resort back to baits
