Fishing Victoria Forum

Hi all.


Just took the dog for a walk down the back of viewbank/rosanna and found the "banyule swamp"

On google earth it looks empty but in reality its a pretty impressive lake.

I had a bit of a walk around and i couldnt see any signs saying no fishing but there is a fence the whole way around it.

Just wondering first of all has anyone given it a crack? And secondly are
You aloud to?

I assume there would only be carp and eels in it mayb the odd reddie but im guessing unless stocked these fish would only have got in when the yarra floods.


Cheers guys

which one are you referring to beverley rd or banyule flats

Banyule flats. Just google earthed the car park around the other side and the sign says the flats.

Fishable?

only carp if anything better of fishing the river

Hey Gav can you put up picture from google earth of where your talking about?

Yer id say there would be carp.

Just google
"Banyule swamp"

But it looks empty on it

its a billabong only fills when the river floods

Looks like that today

that one is feed by salt creek

Isnt salt creek the dribble that runs next to macleod and rosanna train stations?
