Otways Information
Hi All
Long time since posting having gone into hibernation over the winter, as I do every year!
Heading away with the family for a couple of nights down in the Otways, around the Beech Forrest/Gellibrand area.
Just wondering if anyone has advice around that area? Is the Gellibrand River accessible/worth fishing?
Cheers!

Re: Otways Information
Weather shaping up perfectly, think I’ll have a go at Gellibrand river. Not much info online, though apparently plenty of Blackfish

Re: Otways Information
Heard of someone hooking and dropping a ~1kg brown trout there over the weekend while fly fishing in a river near Apollo Bay, if that helps.

Re: Otways Information
Have a look at the following and it will give you a good summary of fishing options in the Otways. It will also give you an indication of the fish species in the different rivers

Re: Otways Information
The Gellibrand around Stevenson falls is accessible, like most of the streams in that area it is small, tight fishing. Few little browns in there though.

Re: Otways Information
After all that, didn’t get a great chance to wet a line, just an hour or so one morning.
Had a bit of a wander and found some little stretches which looked fishy, though think I would have had a lot more luck with worms as opposed to lures. Apparently a strong Blackfish fishery...
Lovely part of the world though, look forward to going back one day
