Malmsbury-Post lockdown trip-Redux

Post by TheNix » Wed Nov 11, 2020 9:44 am

I spent yesterday afternoon fishing the Malmsbury reservoir at Kyneton and it did not let me down. I got ten carp ranging from 30cm to 55cm and lost several others. As usual, corn was the best bait accounting for the majority of the fish, but the two biggest were caught on worms from my backyard. Not even a touch on scrub worms or maggots.

Well done, I'm keen to get back to the Kyneton area in the next few weeks myself.

Thanks guys, it way a good afternoon fishing and great to get out of town. All the Kyneton lakes are nice and full, so there is plenty of water to go round. I was surprised that I was the only person fishing in the area and the only other person I saw was someone walking a dog. The Upper Coliban was probably busy though.

With plenty of leftover bait left from my previous trip and another free afternoon, I took another run to the Malmsbury on Saturday. In many ways it was a carbon-copy of the previous trip with another ten carp landed, but this time it was the scrub worms that did the damage rather than the corn. Fishing is strange like that sometimes!

I know I'm responding to an old post but are the big tench still in Malsbury since carp numbers increased? If so any tips on locating and catching them would be most welcome.

It's been years since i caught a tench there but I reckon they are still in there. I used to get them on scrubworms fished on the bottom

I've not seen a tench in the Malmsbury for a very long time. Roach, yes, but not tench.
