Has anyone got any tips to share for fishing the Yarra through Warburton? Bait fishing more so than lures.
Looking for some new Yarra waters that I have not fished as yet and through Warburton is one place I have passed many time but never tried.

I was up past Warburton on Saturday afternoon/evening. Bring aeroguard. The river was higher than usual and a.bit discoloured - normally it's pretty safe to drink above Warburton but not at the moment.

Didn't get anything but I was using lures and with the water the way it was that wasn't surprising.

I've seen heaps of smallish trout in there in the past and there's probably stacks of blackfish in there as well

I'm heading up this way for Easter and would appreciate any advice on accessible areas. Happy to catch anything, but would prefer trout. Or maybe my first Blackfish?

Hey ThomoT did you have any luck over Easter mate?

To be honest, I have barely got out. No luck, just on worms one evening. I still have a couple days left.

Correction! I threw a sp around this evening and managed to catch this reddy @ 27cm. First fish on a sp! Will make a tasty brekky.

Nice mate ! I’m heading out that way tomorrow it’s gunna be hard to find a spot that hasn’t been ambushed over the break though :down: are you out Alexandra or before if you don’t mind me asking, had no luck at Healesville over the weekend not even a nibble!

Congrats on your first fish on a sp. hopefully many more to come in the future as well for you :thumbsup:

Stupid question I’m just starting out fishing coming off dirtbikes, but do other fish take trout pellets?

We are at Warburton, so don't know about Alexandra.
