Nothing more terrifying inhabits our southern waters in my eyes.........

Hi mate, Not any Eel in the Wimmera river, but the has been the odd unconfirmed catch following floods ect. The Hopkins River holds good populations of eel, also lakes Bolac and Burrumbeet.

"Tell him he's dreaming"...... time and place Cornacarpio, i love a good wimmera fish off haha.

Yellowbelly yes, the Wimmera river relies on stocking (no natural recruitment) so catch and release is probably the best bet to ensure a fishery into the future. Cod no, execpt for the lower reaches of the wimmera river, but they are few and far between.

Great day here today, 34c temps and light winds which saw me keen to wet a line in our marvelous Wimmera river. Fishing was good all day, with the highlight of the session being a lovely little hybrid carp x goldfish that i came across in the shallows mooching around. A quick cast with a bit of corn...

Went for a run out to two local lakes this week, following the inflows of the weeks prior. Fishing was near to impossible due to very dirty water, low water temps and massive amounts of food saw the fish shut down. First trip was Monday to Taylors Lake near Horsham, which is now hovering at about 10...

Interesting read cornacarpio.... im sure your catch rates will improve over the coming weeks/months with all this rainfall and return to warmer weather.
