Eildon fish farm has closed down and has sold all it's stock, but there are others around like Buxton and Ballarat, I think a fish farm would be the best bet for a definite catch.

Thanks mate, I had a feeling it may have closed

There has been no activity on their Facebook page since March & they say they're open 24/7 and were closed

For some reason I find the idea of skull dragging a farmed trout with an electric deep drop setup funny as ****.

Hopefully someone can help you out with gear.

From memory there’s a trout farm near Warburton and another at Macclesfield.

I reckon a big carp would actually go alright

My Mrs works as an OT\Carer and we have a long term client who is now a good personal friend of ours that has cerebral palsy.
One of her goals in life is to catch a fish and she knows that i dabble in that sort of stuff occasionally.
We were talking about how best to go about this and in order to make it as reel (pun intended) as possible , I am thinking using a an electric reel that has a button to wind in the line, would be the go, while being attached to a carp or a stockie.
The only problem is , I don't own one .
.....................................

What is the idea behind using an electric reel? Will it be physically hard for your mate to reel a 'normal' reel? Sorry but I am not aware of the effects of cerabral palsy. If her hands/wrists/arms are not physically affected, then may I suggest you use a normal reel (and that will make it reel!)...like everybody else would use and I would hazard a guess that your mate wants to be treated equally. One thing I do know...it is great that you are helping her out.
cheers

Edit....I just did a quick google on her condition....I should have done it before sorry, the electric reel may be a good option!

When Buxton reopens after winter they will have rods with electric reels available
Owner is keen to accommodate people with disabilities

It depends on the severity of the clients condition. I have clients with cp and some still drive and walk at imd and have fairly active lives and some confined to a wheel chair

Hey Guys!
My Mrs works as an OT\Carer and we have a long term client who is now a good personal friend of ours that has cerebral palsy.

We were talking about how best to go about this and in order to make it as reel (pun intended) as possible

Smokin , , , , you are definitely a "smok'n" bloke. This is one of the best things I have seen on this Site. Absolutely well done :thumbsup:

Firstly, something you said shows how much of a great bloke you are and your Mrs too , , , , you said "We have a client" not She has a client AND "We were talking about how best to" , , , , shows you guys are a great couple.

And top marks to Jim :thumbsup: , people/members always get my respect for "correcting" instead of ignoring or deleting.

I have to be honest too, I had to Google to fully understand Cerebral Palsy.

Post with a possible solution to follow
