Re: eltham
Most spots in the gorge are good and there are more fish in there than just carp

Re: eltham
Is there any good access to the Yarra on the south side of the bank from Eltham that anyone is aware of?
Looking at google earth i can't see anywhere that is easily reached and being in croydon it is a bit of an extra drive crossing the river at warrendyte or templestowe to cut back to eltham.

Re: eltham
you can try up the back of westerfolds park, bit of a hike to the yarra from the car park, or if you go to the bridge that is fitzsimonds lane there is a parking spot om the south side ( look on google maps) from here you can walk the trail west or east looking for a spot to get down to the bank, looks like theres a launching point on the west side a little in, going to try there next week with a mate

Re: eltham
I would suggest fishing further upstream because that spot you are talking about is really overfished. There are definately fish terr but you will have better luck someplace else! Try around laughing waters !!

Re: eltham
cheers will give it a go, usually you can scare them off with a bit of stomping about but sometimes they dont care to much and stick around

Re: eltham
Griffith park has been pretty good. A mate and I were fishing it before the hot spell and doing well. Maccas were the main catch but we managed quite a few reddies as well. Has anyone else been getting reddies? Also managed a small cod which I was happy with been a while since I'd caught one out of the Yarra
What type of fish are in the gorge? I know there are quite a few eels and carp and the odd redfin has anyone else caught anything else? I've heard rumors of yellowbelly years ago from a neighbour who was a fishing maniac.

Re: eltham
Odd trout gets caught in the "untouched pools". Also seen pics of small cod from our of there. Millions of roach too. Oh and yeah there are still one or two yellow belly still in the gorge. Not enough to actually target though
