Can anyone tell me about how far up the Yarra Murray Cod are found? I know Warrandyte, guessing Jumping Creek, wondering about Wonga Park. Be interesting to find out the highest up the river anyone has caught one.

Found this while getting bait for Wonga Park session last evening. Longer than any fish I've caught. Session disappointing due to people who turned up and threw sticks into the pool I was fishing in for their dogs to retrieve. Common courtesies have gone. I fish as much for the solitude as for the c...

Picked up this delightful specimen this arvo. Lemon tree should enjoy it tho

Had a couple of hours at Wittons Reserve and caught [and lost] my first carp. Got it into the bank, but it slipped from my grasp and the hook pulled out. Now a couple of things.

I thought there were only small trout, redfin and blackfish up there, but after Thursdays outing am beginning to wonder if ...

Spent the day in the sun behind the shops at Warburton. After 2 weeks in hospital it was heaven. Snagged multiple times, and nearly lost my rod to something while eating a pie. Big decision - let go of the pie or let the rod go? 3/4 pie straight into mouth :dinner: But whatever it was took me straig...
