Fishing Victoria Forum

Just joined the forum - thought I should not waste any time and get a report up!

Woke up early Saturday morning to get out of the city and chase some trout in the Upper Yarra. Headed out past Warburton East and checked out a few access points I had marked on Google Maps, until I found a good spot where I could throw the waders on and jump in. There were lots of bugs in the sky on the drive out, so I started off with a Strike Tiger Nymph on a light jighead. I quickly changed to a Daiwa jointed minnow and hooked my first brown within 5 casts. I waded upstream for a while before jumping back in the car and heading up to the next spot, and so on. Was a good little morning session with fish caught at every stop, which is a great sign! Ended up with 6 trout all between the 25cm - 35cm mark (all released), and all taken on the Daiwa minnow.

Good report and photo Mitch

Cheers mate!
I wasn't sure how it'd turn out with all the smoke and weird weather we have had. But the river looked great and the fish were biting

Right into it! Good on you mate and cheers for the report. I love sussing out new spots and getting a couple is just the cherry on top.

Good stuff.
How's the water, fast? Clear?

Was quite fast in spots.. I ended up heading further upstream to where it gets a bit thinner and slower, which was much better for wading. Clarity was actually very good too.

Nice session mate
Great first report and pics!
Cheers
