WOMBAT DAM

[gordo65]

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

Yep

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.

Can anyone get this permit? Or it needs special requirements etc?
