WOMBAT DAM
WOMBAT DAM
had a flick around upper coliban res yesterday morning - lots of reddies around , wind was very annoying- moved onto Wombat Dam lunchtime onwards - what a pleasant surrounds - fished down the back away from the dam wall to get away from the wind - some nice sized browns spotted coming in to the shallow water - unable to lure them with different spinners - changed to a soft 3D plastic lure (minnow) and 2 within the next hour - well worth the hiding and casting from behind bushes / reeds

Wombat Creek Dam? I was at the Upper Coliban yesterday, the fishing picked up once the wind died back after 6PM.

I haven’t fished wombat in 15 years. I fished there once when it snowed do you still need to get a permit from the water company

Re: WOMBAT DAM
Wombat is now closed and you can only fish with a permit.
You still can fish there with a permit but cannot camp, swim or do anything but fish off the bank.

Re: WOMBAT DAM
Can anyone get this permit? Or it needs special requirements etc?

Re: WOMBAT DAM
Wombat Creek Reservoir, built in 1964, is one of Victoria's best-kept freshwater fishing secrets. ... Anglers will require a permit from Central Highlands Water to fish the reservoir. These can be obtained free of charge by phoning (03) 5320 3100.
