I gave the Upper Coliban a go yesterday even though it was blowing a gale. For some reason the wall was closed to fishing (anyone know why?), so I ended up at the Premier mine road end. I ended up with a brown trout about 11", a rainbow trout about 6" and a chunky redfin about 12". I also dropped an...

I don't know about Moorabol, but Bostock has been steadily rising over the last few weeks, so fishing over the newly flooded swallows might me worth a go, but as Seb85 says, early or late.

Camping! I did a lot of camping when I was fishing as a teenager and twenties but now in my mid-fifties, I could not think of anything worse.

Looks in beautiful condition!

Great job on a slow day. I'm making my first pilgrimage to Eildon in a week or so and I'd be happy with a 2kg trout!

This site was updated in November, so I don't know whether things have changed, but it looks like there are not many family fishing lakes being stock over the April school holidays and Lilydale lake is not one of them. https://vfa.vic.gov.au/recreational-fishing/fish-stocking/school-holiday-trout-st...
