There's definitely wild ones around Bright in the ovens and surrounding creeks.

I wouldn't count on the ovens being too clear for opening, we just got a decent amount of rain today in the ovens valley.

If you can find a school of them at lake Eppalock there'll be more than enough to keep you busy but they'll mostly be small. Eildon and Lake Hume can also produce a few big ones but most people target other species at those lakes (myself included), so take my advice with a pinch of salt.

The ovens has completely burst its banks, so it's a no go at the moment. Mulwala will also be muddy as hell but in better condition than the Ovens. I can't really speak for what's downstream of Mulwala though, but I'd imagine it's very muddy and will probably be tough fishing. Good luck!

These are probably the closest you'll get to a headlamp flood light for under $250 aud. Just have to be careful with the batteries because some cheap 18650 batteries have a reputation for exploding when charged. https://www.fenixlighting.com/product/hp30-fenix-headlamp/ https://www.fenixlighting.com...

Great! Can I ask how much you paid for it?

I'm looking for an okuma streamer rod online but I haven't been able to find any. I was wondering if anyone here has seen them either instore or online?

I've had some success with a cheap one for some of the more skittish cod around. They will slowly pull on the bait, which will show on a nibble tip but not on my heavier graphite rod allowing me to identify and strike at a bite that otherwise would go unnoticed

I knew this thread would end up being a sh*t show and I was rapidly loosing faith in humanity until DougieK turned up :thumbsup: but just to add to his point, Australia also has one of the highest pollution rates per person in the world.
